preferably 15x7. ideally a fuch if anyone has one in that size?
if someone happens to have a set of 4 in brisbane they are willing to lend for a few weeks then that would be greatly appreciated.

nick you can get a 17*7.5 off me but these have a 52et off set. If you want earlies I think they run a 23et off set.

Hi Nick,
You can fit a 15x6 on the front brakes with a 16mm wheel spacer and it clears the calipers by about 2-3mm. To get that to fit under stock width guards my front beam was narrowed 2".
The rears would be the same if using 6" rims. 7's wont fit unless you widen the guards, or run 16" boxter rims so they clear the calipers.
My 15" setup with the fuchs has type 3 drums on the back on short axels, and i had 15x7's then.
My 17" setup also ran the wide spacers, but that was to keep the wheel track, not to clear the calipers. I reall needed to add those 2 inches back to the beam instead. Would have made for better steering geometry.
With the 944 rear end setup on short axels i ran a 12mm spacer on the rear so the tyres cleared the spring plates still, and ran 17x7.5's on the back.
I hope that helps!
Ian.
