112-120mm backspace is what fuchs are.... you can only go so far in.

a 6" fuch has 115 mm backspacing, so does a 7"...

all the width can only go on the outside

if you can't afford to drive to pland, you can't afford new wheels.

maybe yes, maybe no. for a person that doesn't want to mess with the body AT ALL, this is pretty important. where in az is prescott? for a group buy, the firm should accomodate a stop by. i see the potencial for this group buy to go sideways, after the fact.

Aside from looks, do these have an advantage over the 4 lug fuchs?

if they are indeed 25mm offset, they should fit the front perfectly, the rear might be close and more than likely would have to be rolled or pulled a little...a 15x7 Fuchs or Cookie Cutter has a 23mm offset and some people claim to not have issues while in my experance, I've had to pull the fender out a little and make sure the lip is rolled

a 205 should be fine, a 195 is too narrow for a 7" in my opinion

5.5 wide for the Fuchs, 7" wide for these, that extra 1.5" makes a huge differance when mounting 205 sized tires....

Let me introduce myself and answer address any concerns. My name is Barry Knickerbocker, I am the North American Importer for Performance Industries in Australia. Performance has been making wheels for 26 years, they are ISO9002 Certified. So Superlite wheels are not made in the east or by some inexperienced manufacturer, they are not Panasports nor are they priced like Panasports. I have been importing the wheels since 2003 and we are slowly gaining a market following. With regards to Porsche fitments, prior to 4 months ago the factory could not accomodate the 130mm PCD on Porsches. I worked with them to change the mold to accept the Porsche PCD, and we now stock a small amount of 15x6, 15x7 and 15x8 5x130 wheels. We are working with different Porsche owners to help us understand the fitment issues as we do not know Porsche all that well.

We have two wheel weights for each wheel size, a "street" wheel and a "race" wheel. We have produced some wheels with custom offsets per customer specs, but cannot identify which specific year of cars they fit.

I guess the bottom line is that we are trying to provide a better value than what is available now. Do we have all the answers...No. We are trying to gather as much info as we can, and if anyone wants to help, then we will do our best to take care of those people.

We would love to work with the club and welcome questions and/or comments.

Feel free to call or email; 928-771-1763 or Barryk@packracingproducys.com

I am currently running 17x7 Revolution wheels with a 35mm offset which places the rim/tire combo perfectly under stock rear fenders with a 205 width tire, the 914 is odd in that it is easier to run wider rims or rims with more negative offset upfront than in the rear.

Can you supply a 15x7 with a 35mm offset?
