New 16" Fuchs wheels
It turns out that I can 'just' fit a set of 16" fuchs on the speedster. They are off the front of a 911 and are 16" x 6J with a 36mm offset.
The car requires the return lip of the body on the rear arches to be filed down and clearance is tight but it will go, after seeing a 356C at Bug Jam with these wheels fully polished it has given me the inspiration to go for it even though I may yet still sell the car!

They really fill out the arches |
Looks a bit high in this picture but it is just the angle. Just have to pick up the second set and it's off to the polishers! I am fitting 205/50R16 tyres, either Toyo Proxes T1-S or Avon ZZ3, any advice from out there? |
|
The first pair I acquired were quite badly gouged, you'd never be able to tell by looking at them now though! |
Second pair were in better condition, but you can't tell the difference now... |
|
Mirror polished! Even centre caps done too, in three days. |
Now ready for tyres (Avons), I just hope I don't have to spend my life cleaning the things... |
|
All fitted up and probably the cleanest they will ever be! |
Rear arch clearance was tight. |

Will I do anything else on this car? |
