I have real Fuchs for my car. They are "flat" 15x6's (as opposed to the earlier, for some more desirable and more expensive "deep" 6's). Part of what I posted on the Samba recently-
"My car is an older Intermeccanica and I've got it on an irs pan (1970), with Karmann Ghia discs (redrilled to 5x130mm bolt pattern) on the front, 4x130mm (redrilled) Beetle back drums with oe 911 Porsche Fuchs alloys for wheels. 6" wheels with 185/60's will fit on the front. I've tried 195/55's (you can still find them in a summer tread/compound) and other than adjusting the turn stops slightly so the tire doesn't rub on the inner body at full lock, they'll work as well. The back, as I've said, is irs with swing axle torsion bars and cut down swingaxle spring plates bolted to the inside of the trailing arm flange with 7" wheels (6" Fuchs cut and widened 1" to the inside, a la 1967 911R wheels). With 205/60's, there's maybe 1/8" sidewall/springplate clearance (had to shorten the bolt that threads into the flange) and the outer part of the tire contacts the fender at the back. Although the ultimate goal is to run 205's or maybe even 215's (with type 3 rear drums, which will necessitate narrowing the trailing arms) I'll be putting some 195's on it for the moment, just so they clear the fenders and is actually rolling. It helps to get to know the local used tire dealer."

Hope this helps. Al
