HI Guys,

a question for wheel experts:

I am debating between Rota fox and Euromeister Fuch replicas, in 17 in.

rotas are 7.5 fr and 9 rear , and do work for SCs.

As for euromeister, what do you guys recon is the largest one I can put on SC?

8 or 9 for the front?
9 or 10 for the back?

I ll most likely use 205x50 r17 at the front and 225x45 r17 or 250x40 r17at the back.

Thanks!

Matt

8 or 9 for the front?
9 or 10 for the back?

too big for a standard SC
I think 7's and 9's are as big as you can squeeze in there

I am almost 100% sure i would not buy a 17 fake fuch for a classic 911
too many real ones available at about the same cost - plus they are sized for the car

I have 17" fakes on my 930. I think they look fine. My 16" are safely on the shelf.
Big problem is tire selection has become very limted for the 16"s.

8 ET25-31(higher is generally better as it place the tire further from the lips) for the front of an SC/Carrera 225/45 x17 tires
9 ET15-12 for the rear of an SC/Carrera 255/40x 17 tires
the above are easy fits

In front you can use a 235/ or 245/ tire w/ lots of extra work but unless you are looking for the last tenth of a second on track it's not worth it

in back you can get 9.5 ET19 but there is no wiggle room on the ET w/ up to a 275/ or 285/ tire again lot's of extra work required and probably not worth it for most people.

As always a shorter tire is easier to fit than a tall one

No 10" replicas, just 9''. I have to Fox Corsa's & they look great

Don't go to 17 inch replicas. Heavy things. The 16 in 8 and 9 is the way to go--pricy, but correct, and light as they come.
