Now the market for deep 7's (7R's)....
I have to seriously evaluate what I am doing for wheels. I actually had no idea about the bead/tube thing until this thread. Hmmm

There was a pair on early s that sold in minutes at early s at 3k euro. Likely under sold then by at least 1k

Are you going to flare your car? Personally i like skinny cars. So deep 6 gives that dish look. Later 7 can also fit. They aren’t exactly right tho. Require a lower profile. 7r fit w a spacer.
Some good info here

^yes I knew a spacer was needed. Definitely keeping narrow body but want that extra contact patch.
I may just go with 'standard' 7's to get it.

On a lwb car not flared, these seem to be the more common options.
Flat6, deep6, later7 f/r, flat6 front/later 7 rear, deep6/7r
