Default Anybody in Cincinnati have 951 Fuchs for test fit?

Hey guys - I own an 87 911 and would like to test fit some 951 16" Fuchs over my 996 brakes to see if they will fit before I buy some. 996 brakes were designed for 17" wheels, so I will be pushing the limit and therefore would really like to try them before I lay out the cash. Part number should be 951 362 115 and is 7J x16 ET 23.3. These were designed for extra clearance as opposed to 911 Fuchs.

Does anybody have some of these wheels that would be willing to allow me to test fit? It would probably take 5 min - I could bring a jack and wrench. I live in West Chester. Thanks.

Did you get these to fit? I have the same brakes (Rebel Racing). I may use the 951 16x8 wheels and would love to know if they fit. Thanks.

I don't know if this ever happened, but I've got Fuchs on my car if you still need to try some on. P.M. me

They won't fit. My 8" 951 Fuchs only fit over my 928S4 calipers on the front with the calipers shaved on the outboard edges and a 7mm spacer. The 996 calipers have a larger outboard footprint and should not fit.
