Default 911 fuchs offsets?

can someone help me find the offest for 15x7 and 15x8 Fuchs that fit and early 911 ? (RS conversion)

Is the offset different on the 944 wheels?

considering an rs conversion and wondering how difficult it will be to get the parts...

thanks in advance!

The 7s have an offset of 23.3mm, the 8s are 10.6mm. 15" Fuchs on 944s had the same offset.

Although the 15x7 Fuchs are plentiful and reasonably priced, the 15x8s are getting pricey and hard to find. Wheel Collision Center (Bath, PA) has them in their catalog at $375 (refinished) but when I called, they said "We haven't been able to find any of them for months." I'll probably be bidding against you on ebay.

It's interesting that people still want them even though the selection of 15 inch tires is so limited.

If I understand correctly, ANY 15x7 fuchs will fit the fronts of an early 911.

but the 15x8" must have the 10.6mm offset?

(any chance someone has the (911) porsche part number (stamped on the inside))

-since I'm not sure I'm going to flare the rear yet...

-Try Ernies' Alloys in miami... (Often sells on ebay) (or vertex).


(fwiw, I'm running cookies 15x7's all around and use the Kuhmo victoracer 225x50x15, rolled fenders and no rub.)
