(Apologies if you already know this): a 7R is a deep 6 with a wider rim, having the additional width on the "inside", so the offset of the outside face is the same as a deep 6.
Proper Porsche sports purpose part therefore, by definition, cool. For those geeky enough to notice. So geeky cool at best. OK, I admit it, just geeky.
Yes, reassuringly expensive Kirk!BILLY BEAN wrote: ↑Sat Oct 15, 2022 8:23 pmAnd Richard you neglected to say ridiculously expensive.inaglasshouse wrote: ↑Sat Oct 15, 2022 6:14 pm I use 7Rs on the back of my 1970 S.

said tongue in cheek........
Rob, back to your original question - I have 7" Torq Thrusts on my stock bodied car which are a tight fit. I believe that the offset on my wheels is the same as a 7J Fuchs (not 7R) so I don't see why you couldn't fit those?
Do the 7R's look alike with deep sixes? I'm planning on keeping the deep sixes on the front. I have some photos of sevens but can't make out if the cutouts are curved on the sevens like they are on the deep sixes.Lightweight_911 wrote:.
Here's my old '73E/S which was fitted with 205/60 tyres on 7in Fuchs all round:
- it was lowered but had uprated suspension with stiffer torsion bars & rolled rear arches.
