Ive been offered a pair of early 7' fuches , while I know the back spacing is the same as my 6's I'm not to sure how their gonna sit on the body line whether their gonna stick out  The 205 tyres I run at the moment on my 6's ballon out a bit on the rim so Im thinking of keeping this profile tyre on the 7's to have a more upright looking sidewall . Anyone got some pix of 7's or any experience of running these ? May have some detailed six's for sale soon  |

these are late 7s and are really cool.
early 7s are known as the 7R fuchs. they are essentially deep 6s with an inch more backspacing to allow for the fitment of wide tyres on the early 911s.
i like them too. but from what i've seen they fit with running short axles, but i think that if you ran e.g. disc brakes that give a bit more offset they come close to sticking out of the fender. but i'm not sure...

Thanks for the input guys These one's On Rich M's car look like the pair Ive been offered , the rim's on the pics of the others look more angular also my centers look more like an early heart fuch if that makes sense . Looks like I may have done a deal to get them detailed for a straight swap with my old 6's  |

Can't find any part numbers on the inside of the wheels , only markings are 7x15 so think they may be replica's . Castings markings on the face of the wheel are quite rough under and near the painted area . Think I'll still get them as 7's are'nt to thick on the ground , but Im gonna hang onto my 6's for the mo |

Glenn keep the 6s and put your money toward a new cam and lifters. The 7s will not make the car go any quicker.   |

May not make the car go quickere but talk about make a statement... 7" just give you that big and little look that traditional hot rods have. Personally, I think it completes the stance and look.

bruce, how did you see that?
Look at the 5 triangular holes. Notice how the hole bends down towards the rim? Original late 7" Fuchs didn't do that. Early 7" Fuchs didn't have the same rim profile as the one in this pic. The wheels on the red car above are also fake. Nothing wrong with that, they are just heavier, and you have to inspect them for cracks often. |

Same with the ones I just mounted on my CHOP. Nothing but the REAL DEAL as they are light, strong and high quality.
