Wide wheels/ narrow body revisited Options

[spotontheroad]

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.

Many thanks for all the replies - the concensus seems to be that 6/6.5 is easily done with no mods, 7 will fit some and not others and 8s fit with mods and all depend on tyre profile and wheeloffset. I've got some work to do!
I failed to say that the plan is to convert to 5 stud. I already have the front end sorted with a complete 911 set up.

I'm asking these questions as I plan the restoration of my 914. When I first got it I was all for fitting flares but the stock wings are in such good condition - perfect in fact, it would be a crime to cut them - hence my questions about widest wheels under stock wings. Another reason to postpone/abandone the flares idea was that the money would be better spent elsewhere (even though in my head I've spent it several times over!)

By the way - thanks especially for all the photos - some fantastic cars out there. I've really got something to aim for. Back in 2001 I began a 2.5yr restoration of my 87 Audi quattro and when I finished I said never again and now I've bought a 914 to go through it all again! This will NOT be the last question I post, rest assured.
