QUOTE(jmill @ May 15 2014, 09:23 PM) The 7" rim has ET 23.3 and the 8" has ET 10.6. Will the ET 10.6 work up front? Anyone (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

All right, I think I figured it out. The 8" rim has 1" more backspacing. So they both stick out the same distance and the 8" rim will have less clearance to the inner fender. Sounds like I'll need a 1" spacer if I go with the 8's.
Am I wrong? |

QUOTE(rgalla9146 @ Mar 4 2012, 10:47 AM) Anyone with 16x9 real Fuchs fitted ? .... obviously on rear with GT flares. If so what size tires ? any spacers ? any real clearance measurements ? rolled back or trimmed fender flanges ? EDIT: My apologies for the lapse of attention - this post I'm replying to is over two years old! So this is a hijack, albeit an unintentional one. Read on, interested parties; all others ignore this. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) Yes, I have 16x9 real Fuchs on the rear of my car, under GT flares. Tires are 245/45 Potenzas. I had to go with Kumho for the front 16x7s but they are comparable tread wear rating so there hasn't been an issue with them… so far. There is too much clearance for the front which is aesthetically displeasing to my eye, so I plan to put 1" spacers on the fronts. No clearance issues with the rears, but they are close. No real measurements, but I suppose I could try to measure it. Fender flanges are were rolled a bit, I believe. |

I have always used Fuchs but recent bought three pair of Braid Fuchs repro/replica wheels and they are very nice quality, and light. I mainly did this as 16x9's in the rear are taller than I want, and factory 15x9's are the wrong offset. So one set is black+satin Braid 15x9 in back and factory Fuchs 15x8 in front. The other set is RSR-ish finish Braid 15x9 back and 15x8 front. I run Hoosier R6 and tires are readily available thus far.
Braid makes numerous sizes and finshes and will do custom offsets also. |
