Default Fuchs

So, does anyone have a set of 16", 7 & 8's that they want to sell for a reasonable price? - Blk, no white

Next question, the rear offset of 23.3, as is the front; there is a new set of reproduction Fuchs but the rear is 10.3 offset, fronts are 23.3: small spacer required for rear to safely run these? Sorry, never got hard into offsets with what would or wouldn't work, what was required to make them work, etc. TIA.

Why am I asking...well, might just buy the car that I'm listing for Jim...not a huge fan of the turbo twist wheels.

Spacer would not be required in the rear. Smaller offset [et10 vs et23] pushes a wheel further out toward the fender lip. In this case, about half an inch.

Who makes these replicas? Depending on design/construction, they may not clear the baby black brembos.

What do you consider to be a reasonable price for used Fuchs in good condition?

per the ebay Fuchs, you would need to run a spacer up front to clear the 951 brakes. Those were designed off the 911 wheels, and they don't have the same clearance as the 951 fuchs. I'm not sure the exact size of the spacer needed for those particular wheels, but count on 5 to 7mm.

Not have to refinish, up to $2500 - $2800; refinish them - $1400.

I figured 7-10mm spacer which is borderline new wheel studs. thanks

Those won't clear the baby black brembos on a 951 without a spacer.
