I'm itching to take my 06 C2S out of storage and buying these replika fuchs as my winter rims. The shop selling them says they are a direct fit. 8.5''+49 fronts and 10'' +50 rears. Just wanted to check in with you guys first ! Thank you and happy holidays everyone.

I would not run a 10” rear rim. 11” is stock.

That said, a 10” +50 rim should fit similarly to a stock 11” +67 rim. It would sit 3mm further outward, a negligible difference. And it would have 30mm additional inner clearance, since it’s an inch narrower.

Replika rims are very weak wheels. They will crack easily... it's not worth it. Find a used set which are better cast like Victor Equipment. Just my 2cents

Yup the lobsters are 11inch !

I read on someone else’s post they mention doing 265 on 10’s works ?

Thank for your feedback. I’ve been looking for used OEM 18´s as well. I like the look of the Fuchs but not the real deals price tag.

A narrower wheel can actually work better in snow. Those will fit if you want to go that route for a few months over the winter.

True, 265 will definitely fit better on a 10” rim.

@Petza914 is spot-on: If for winter, go as narrow as you dare.

Much better traction in snow, and this applies to Porsches, Land Rovers, you name it...any vehicle.
