Rear lip should be bigger. If it's like mine, there are 7" wide wheels in the front and 8" in the back. The 8" ones have the bigger lip. Take a look here: http://forums.pelicanparts.com/showt...hreadid=314642 While the thread isn't about the fuchs, it shows how an eagle-eyed viewer spotted the wheels' lips and discusses it a little.

I think if you take a tape measure to the wheels you'll see the difference in width. By the way, after I had the 8" put on the rear and the 7" on the front...wow, what a handling difference.

On 951 part number fuchs, the rears do not have as much lip as the 911 Fuchs. Thats why 911 guys want them for the front of their cars. They are the only Fuchs like that. Check them out on this diagram....

BTW, I still can't believe you are selling them. Good Luck either way.

We've covered this several times.

If you gave the part#'s for the front and rear,and the part#'s are for 7" and 8" 951 Fuchs, then the debate is over.
