911 Wheels
I just got a set of wheels and think they are Deep 6's on the rears and later shallow 6" for the front.
I want to narrow one set for the front, and perhaps widen the rears.
Front has part number 91136102000
Rear 90136101206
What year cars are these from?
What options do I have? Any other 15" model that is already 4" and 7"?

In ythe Hotvws magazines you see alot of 4.5" wide fuchs that they use on the fronts & in the spare wheel slots I think they are really early 911
and pretty hard to come by in Australia and pretty exy. 7"should be pretty easy to come by I think.
I could be corrected
Cheers

Dave, I had a pair of 6in Fuchs narrowed to 4.5in at a wheel place in brissy (can't remember the name but will try and work it out if you want - let
me know) - they were in the western suburbs. Cost me around $330 from memory for the pair - they did great work. It was a lot cheaper than sourcing a
pair of original 4.5in Fuchs.

Would it be "race engineering" daz?
I have no sympathy for my car, only the wallet that pays for it!

Thats it bix - I knew it had 'race' in the title.
I can't say for certain about legality - they would be putting themselves into an interesting position doing this work and not having any disclaimers
like "for offroad use only" etc etc. No mention was made to me and I obtained a proper receipt for the work (wasn't just a cashie so they could
avoid being tied to the work).

I know someone who did this and they were under the impression it wasn't street legal. If it doesn't fall apart though, which cop is really gonna
pick it?? Not like you can tell from the outside. Good excuse to let brake dust collect on the inside of the rim
