Need some help:
Trying t o decide tirewheel size for a GT clone for track use. What are advantages/disadvantages of 16 versus 16. Would like to go all 8 inch if possible. I know 16 8s will b emore $$ and tires as well whcih could be reason to avoid. Would aslo like to know your experiences with tire currently in dilema as I have 16 7/8 but good tires are 15 (888s) Thanks up front for input. TOT |

On my 914 GT project, I will be going with fuchs 16 x 7 & 8 ......... with the 944 turbo offset 8s on the rear. At first glance they will all look like sevens.
So far as tires, I am considering 205/50 for the fronts and 225/45 on the rears. My car will be primarily street driven, so max tire width is not the biggest concern.
