I think we've been through this before on multiple lists.
a) all cars are a bit different due to assembly methods (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) tire size, tire brand, camber, etc are all in the mix c) 7" wide fuchs (with exception of 911R rims) have ALL the additional width on the outside, so they stick out (duh) 1" farther than 6x15 or 16. On my -6, I have probably less than 1deg neg camber, run 6x15 cookies (same offsets) with 205/50 victoracers and they only had about 1/4" gap to spare. Stupid note: 1970 cars only had completely flat-return rear fenders, so I bent mine up just to be safer. |
