Period wheels for 1967 911S

Post by Mike Anderson »

Can anybody advise me as to the correct size Fuchs alloys that should be fitted to my car? I have been told that 15" dia x 5.5"J, is this correct and are the rear wheels the same J or wider like the later versions?

for a 1967 911 S you need the very desirable 4.5" x 15" Fuchs both front & rear

James - they're not necessarilly 4.5 - if the car was made post August / September 1967 then she'd have had 5.5J - pre that period would be 4.5J

What is your chassis numbe? If it starts 118xxxxx then she's a '68 model year and would be running 5.5J's - if it's a six digit number then she's a '67 model year and would have 4.5J's

Hope this helps :-)
