I'm new to Porsche. I recently picked up a 67 912 and it has old aftermarket Fuchs on it. I'd like to put stock steel wheels on it. I understand they came with 4 1/2" rims, but will the later 5 1/2 rim fit without looking silly? Have pics to share?

Thanks!!!

Dave

yeah, the 5.5 is fine, but I do prefer the 4.5 and good quality 165's (Vredestein or Pirelli is probably the best available)
