15x7 fuch under cmc speedster will it fit?

Hello I have bin lookin for wheels for my speedster and was going to buy dust standard chrome whells 5X5" for my car but I saw this 15X7 and start to think if I can use this wheels for my car?

Best regards haffi

It depends on the offset of the wheel (where the center hub is positioned in relationsip to mounting to the brake drum) and the size/profile tire used.

Here's good guide from a 914 site - that details offset and backspacing -

Hafthorr,
I have a non-flared Speedster, probably about the same vintage as yours.
I tried fitting 7" wide Fuchs but they were too wide for the rear.
7" will clear on the front of the car but they'll rub the body by about an inch in the rear.
Mine is an IRS drum brake VW based chassis. I have discs in the front. I ended up with 16"x6" wide Fuchs all the way around. They "just" clear in the rear.
If your wheel/tire combo has different clearance side to side, that's another problem.
My Speedster ended up with the same tire clearance on each side, so I didn't have any problems with that.

Yes and No..., that said, look under "IRS Wide5 Disc Brake options", I posted a reply Saturday night that answers your question.

But it doesn't include an EASY button to push!
