Marchesini 10 spokes

Found a set for a really good price. However these and the sets I have seen on Ebay have a 6" rear. Is it true that you cannot really fit a 180 section to this width of wheel?
The alternative width is 5,75. Std 996 rear is 5,5.
Can you get them in 5,5?
Will a 5,75 take a 180 section tyre?:puzzled::puzzled:

I had a 180 fitted to a 6" five spoke marchesini on my 916 with no problems

I'm pretty sure that you can fit a 180 rear to the 6inch job.

Besides, it depends where the measurement is taken from - some of these measurements are the internal width and not to the edge of the wheels IIRC.

And we need some pics of the 10 spokes - they'll look very trick

These were the ones I looked at on fleebay:

ah - they'll be left hand drive then!

I had a 180 put on a 6inch rim and it looked crap (flat)
took it straight back and had a 190/55 fitted.
not common but much better IMO
