Paint the little spoiler above your rear window black too.

When you have your Fuchs, you want the best tyre service fitting possible. I've just gone through my first set of track tyres so went to see how the tyres are taken off without touching the wheel. It may be normal in other markets but if not then seek out this type of machine

On my 964 I have Fuchs with 993 calipers/RS uprights - fits just fine. See pic. There's enough radial clearance to clear big reds on 993 uprights. Clearance from spokes to caliper is very tight - about 5mm.
If you have big reds mounted on 964 uprights with mounting brackets - I'm not sure - you may need spacer, geometry is a bit different.

Though that you all might like to see some detail photos of a front & rear 18" from a set of Fuchs that we have just bought in to fit on a customer's 964?
Enjoy!
Enjoy!

Hi Colin,
They look really beautiful
I have a set of Veloce Speedlines on at the mo, 8J x 18 with 225/40ZR18 Contisport on the front and 9.5J x 18 265/35ZR18 Contisports on the rear. These clear the Turbo callipers on the front and 993 callipers on the rear and without the need spacers.
Do you know if I can use 18" Fuchs without spacers and clear the brakes please?
Also what finish is that please, it almost looks like RSR? I'd love to see a pic of them on the car.
Thanks in advance,
Paul
