[OEM G60]

Ray, i'd say he's taliking about this one, they look like old school 911 wheels to me, stud pattern looks like 5x130

[Jarred]

yea 911 Fuchs I think too Matt.

High offset + wrong stud pattern + adaptors = phatness!

They look great on SB mk 2's & mk 1's!

actually jarred, fuchs dont come in high offset..... those hubs have been custom drilled or been fitted with custom 10-15mm adaptors... massave mission to fit these wheels so massave respect for those who do it!

I thought you could get replica's with big offsets?
I must be dreaming...L

Yeah replicas would come in all different sizes - found some 17x9's replica Fuchs (ET50+) but were made by Rota! I'd imagine it would've been made for fitment on the newer Porsches.

those "beetle" spec wheels have a width inbetween 4 inch wide and 5.5 inch wide... rubbish!

I swear I've seen a set on ebay that were 5.5" & 7". Must have been replicas?

ive got a big bumper and looking to change to small bumper.. how hard is it to change and where would i get one cheapish....

[DangerDan]

Well for starters you need the front valance behind the front bumper or you'll have a gaping hole. The bumpers are easy to fit, might just have some trouble lining them up. Hard to get the bumpers here as they are uncommon, maybe import them from south africa

There are simple rules to this debate;
4 doors look better with small bumpers.
2 doors look better with big bumpers.
If its an early small window car it HAS to have smalls.

Correct, correct and correct!

Also, big bumpers need 16" rims or larger...
