Has anyone fit replica 17" Fuchs on a early 86 turbo? If so what spacers did you use? What width in front and back did you use? Pictures would be great
Thanks

No. Not hacked. Found out the previous post was my son-in-law when he was on my computer. He also has a 951,hence the question.

Wow that looks great! 17" is just the right size for those rims.
Hmmm I keep wanting a 2nd set of wheels (so I can just permanently mount track tires to my 18s)... I like something like the Fikse FM5... but going traditional with a Fuchs style wheel would be sweet too...

I looked at a set, but they looked "off" somehow.
Keep in mind your car has longer studs on the rear to accommodate the factory 28mm spacer, if you choose not to use a spacer you will need to install shorter studs.
I went w OEM 18" wheels w appropriate spacers. No issues.

No. They're full repro.
There's a huge thread on Rota wheels on Pelican boards. According to the main stream, as they're cast wheel, they shouldn't be used on track.
