I found a previous posting where someone asked "what was the widest wheel that could be fitted to a 914 with standard fenders/wings" and the concensus was that 7" will fit on the rear. What I would like to know is: what is the measurement of offset of such wheels and also what is the widest that can be snsibly fitted to the front and again, what offset?
Has anyone fitted Minilites to their 914 and if so what spec?
All replies gratefully received.
Keith

Most of the 911 Fuchs wheels that are fitted to 914's have a 4.75" backspacing, the 7" 911R wheels have 5.75 backspacing.
