Unhappy Fuchs for 77' 911S

I'm interested in purchasing a set of 6X15 Fuchs for my '77 911. I hear people speak of "Deep Dish". Are those more desirable? Is the fit still okay with "Deep Dish?"
Thanks for any thoughts,
Garry

What you want to be original to the 1977 911S wheel is the 6x15,--late offset. (not the early offset).

are 8x15 rears genuine or have they been mod'd?

I have a set of brand new 8 x 15 fuchs if you are interested. These are not knock offs or reconditioned. Here is a link to the ad

There are 8x15 inch Fuchs that were produced but are a little harder to find. They might fit under your fenders, but can't be sure.

I don't think the 8x15's will work due to clearance. I used 7x15's on my 76 912E which is the same body as the 77. They fit well, but on ocaaion during autocrossing, would lightly touch the tire. I rolled the lip of the fender and it solved the problem.

how about these 17x7.5 that Moses is getting made on pelican...you guys think they'd fit the 74-77 narrow cars?
