Rubbing on the inside fender well on the right rear, passenger side. Rubbing on the outside fender on the left rear driver side. Showing a little heat in the paint on the left side. I may need to go to a smaller size tire in the back, they are staggered now. Can the arms be adjusted or shimmed? Seems like they are not centering the wheels in the openings. Just starting to work on a new project.

No, the 951 8” Fuchs is not the same specs as the 911 7” Fuchs, they have similar offsets 23.3mm vs 23mm, but that’s not the whole story. The 951 8” Fuchs take most of the extra inch width (from 7” to 8”) on the inside of the rim whereas the 911 8” Fuchs take the entire extra inch to the outside of the wheel.
The distance from the face of hub to the inside face of the stock rear fender (on 911s and 914s) is the factor when fitting Fuchs, a 7” typically fits and the 911 8” pushes the tire too far out. So the 951 Fuchs is used, which puts most of the extra tire towards the inside. |
