Thanks.

I'm trying to find out if those are the stock size rims or something that one of the previous owners had installed. Rear ones seem wide.

Look like 7s& 8s, which would be stock.

stock wheels were pressure case 5 holes 6 & 7 x15 w/ 185/70 or 195/65 tires, these were not Fuchs.
options were
Fuchs 7 & 8 x15 w/ 185/70 & 215/60 tires
or
Fuchs 6 & 7 x16 w/ 205/55 & 225/50 tires

Common after purchase up grades are
7 & 8 x16 w/ 205/55 & 225/50
7 & 9 x16 w/ 205/55 & 245/45

btw, the spoiler isn't oe for a Carrera

Paul do you know what you have ? if they are genuine fuch the part number size and offset should be stamped on the inside of the wheel.

Now that I'm looking on a bigger screen you are right on the fronts. They are flat through the silver between the petals and the lip.

I still think the rears look like 8s.
