Sorry another thing......
Noticed the (Fuchs) wheel markings on my '89 Carrera 3.2 are fronts 6J16's and the rears 8J16's.
Anyone know if this is the correct UK fitment for an '89 car - it's G reg one of the last.

Only got specs to '87 cars but normal size in 16" on 3.2 is f-6 r-7

Turbo bodied cars ran f- 7 R- 8 & also post '86 9 on rear but still 7 on front.

Later cars came with 6 & 8's so you're fine. I'm sure there would be a number of people willing to swap if you wanted to change your 8 to a 7.

My car has 6 & 7's but currently looking for a set of 9's for the back so I can more the 7's to the frint!
