Need Wheel Selection Help

FM Former Member
Hi Guys, I am in need of expert help .... I am new to the speedsters and just bought a CMC wide body that I am in the process of giving a complete make over and update. Currently it has Fuchs 5x130 wheels on it. The tires are 225/50 ZR 16 on back and 205/55 ZR 16 on front.

I am looking for a more up dated look and want a wheel that fills up the front spacing a little more. Also looking for a chrome wheel but one that would cost more than the car. Attached is a photo of the type wheel that I am looking for with the deeper negative offset. I see this wheel on a number of replicas but can't seem to find where to get them. Any help would be great ..... as soon as I find the new chrome wheels, I will put the Fuchs up for sale at a very reasonable price ....

Thanks ... Doc

Thanks Justin, I contacted them and even though the wheels are not listed on their parts list they will sell them. As it turns out, they are 5 bolt chevy 4.75 wheels and they sell vw drums that have been drilled and restuded to match .... thanks for the contact.

They are a little pricy but will go with them if I can't find anything a little cheaper ....

No kidding.....They're a Chevy bolt pattern????

I thought of getting a set of those for my new build (same body as yours) but I thought they were a Porsche pattern (5X130).

There are a BUNCH of new wheels that fit Chevy hubs. You could also try Foose and others and maybe find something cooler for the same money, maybe less. You can also run 4X130 to Chevy adapters from Pelican Parts to allow you to run stock Chevy pattern rims (up to 7" width) and still fit under the fenders. Wider than that are available, just delete the spacers.

Vinny, that might be your car ... not sure .... I saw it on the internet and really liked the wheels and the look it had .... sorry if it caused you some confusion but it is a really nice example of a modern look for an old beauty .... Would you mind supplying front and rear tire specifications? I would greatly appreciate it ...
