Wheels
Need some help here people, my new bus has got 15" porsche fuchs rims with 185x65 on them. i'm tossing up with the idea of selling them and buying a
set of 15" chrome empi 5's. I would like to go to a 195 but on the back of my bus at the moment there doesn't look to be much room(inside guard)
with the 185's. On my last buses i had 195(empi 5) on the back but they were later models not the lowlight(72) model i have now. I'm thinking the
fuchs have a different off set to the empi's?
anyone out there running 15" empi's, 195 on the back of a low light with no guard rolling etc...
cheers
ps i also have a set of black 17" audi TT mags sitting in the shed but i'm not sure if they would fit?

It is all to do with the offset (ET) of the wheel
Empi 5's and Fuchs are not the same.
Cant remember what they are but i am 100% they are not the same
Personal opion here
Giving up Fuchs for Empi 5's - WTF man!!!

Yeah i'm still undecided dude, i just would like to get the rear tyres to 195's. Might have have a play and see if i can get the 195's under it
without having to roll the guards.

are your Fuchs 130PCD??
You will need new disc/drums for the Empi's
What about some cookie cutters or some other Porsche wheel

My 72 Dual Cab is has 16" BBS rims (not sure what they're off) and I am running 225 X 50 tyres. No issues of rubbing out at all.
