Reply to "Plus sizing tires/rims on a CMC wide body"

Al, do you still have that chart of all of the different Fuchs offered?

That'll give him an idea of what widths, dish and backset used to be offered.

And I totally agree on the bump up to 16" wheels, or even 17" wheels on a wide body Speedster. They fit (depending on tires used) and look awesome.

I will say that, were I to build my car starting today with the current astronomical prices for original forged Fuchs, I would go with a Chevy pattern and find a wheel I like and go with it. There are tons of Chevy-pattern wheels available (adapters, too), whereas only a handful of popular cars use the 5 X 130 Porsche pattern (the popular ones being German and mostly Porsche).

Here's a good site to start with, just search instead for Chevy wheels (scroll down a little and enter different search parameters):

And following their link for "5 X 130 Wheels" gets you to Amazon:
