Hi,
Will a 16 x 7 Porsche fuchs fit under stock front fender, also will a 16 x 8 fit in rear?

1972 super beetle.

yes, but you will need to use narrow front struts (80mm style) like the Maxx struts from Topline upfront.

Hmm... I'm surprised the fronts can fit. My friend put some 7" Fuchs on the front of this standard (without spacers) and he needed widened fenders.... Hmm, then again, a Super might have more clearance.

And the rears? They fit ok? 8" under stock fenders?

The 7" Fuchs hafe a pretty large lip on them, which would be pretty close to the edge of the fender. You would peobably have to go with widened/flared fenders. A 6" wheels would be fine, though.

Hmm....

But the 6" definitely don't fit after you fit 944 brakes. You will need widened fenders... :(

Sprint.

The Fuchs will clear the calipers. However, when doing a 944 Turbo conversion, you need the 944 Turbo Fuchs... :)

Hello Sprintstar,
I sent you a private message some days ago. Have you received it?
