I have a '72 911T, and i was wondering if it would be possible to fit 8" fuchs in the front.

Perhaps a 951 (944 Turbo) 8" Fuch, but not a 911 one.

Just a side question but.....why do you want to? Is there a specific look you are going for?

Are you sure thats a good idea?

i am building an auto-x car and i am already putting 9" wheels under the flared rear fenders. but i just want to see how much wheel i can fit under the front.

I highly recommend it

The reason I ask is, sometimes front wheels can be to wide which creates new problems with handling. I wonder....... what would Vic Elford do?

JackOlsen

I think he would run the widest wheels he could fit, 1-2" wider in the back than the front.

Here's an example of 8x10x17 wheels -- a Fuchs center welded into a one-piece rim -- on a 1973.

Tires are 245 and 275.





The wheels are made by Lindsey Racing.

"...what would Vic Elford do?"
put on 16x6s all around so it would ALWAYS be in a drift?

g-50cab

Nah - you don't win races "drifting"

Jack,

thanks for the closeup view of Mike Lindsey's workmanship. They look nice.

KeithC2Turto

Oh those are nice.

Besides the wheels, what is required to fit that much rubber please.

I hope to see that black beauty in San Diego at the vintage races. I believe it is held in September. There is usually a group of guys from L.A that come down.
