| Hey there. I've recently bought a set of 6X15 Fuch's off the person doing the paint and body on my 77 camper. Sure, there's alot of rims I could have gone with, but I got a great deal and they'll look fantastic. Anyone with experience please help. What's the ideal tire size for this rim? Any advice on hubs would help also. Ill either have the current ones redrilled, or purchase adapters....these are the types of questions I'm looking to answer. ANY OTHER CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING THE TIRES, RIMS, OFFSETS, ETC. need answered. |

| I scored a great deal on a set of"Polished Cookie Cutters" I thought would look great on my 71,same bolt pattern as your 77,112mmX5.Wolfgang and cip have adapters but said I needed to clearence the wheels to make them work.They did say they work fine w/ the 5 spoke Fuchs. The adapters are $100.oo a pair!so with clearencing.adapters,and new tires I was looking at around $650.oo,Hell I can build a motor for that! |

| Welcome to Fuchsland! Just getting the wheels is half the battle. Have you priced lug nuts and center caps yet? |
