I've tried to read every thread on this and the other site and tried to see what the clearances were at the lip of the opening. My teener will be a little lower than stock but it's a street car so not real low. I have some 18inch 996 chrome turbo wheels for a dune buggy but the rears are 11 inches wide, the fronts are 8's. I have seen 8's on the fronts but not sure of the 18 size. The rear is the big question. Does anyone have the width between the inner fenderwell and the flared fenderlip? I have read that it's the inner fenderwell and not the control arm thats the first interference spot. I would like to get at least a 9 inch wheel and hopefully a 10 in there and then figgure out what it will take to get it on the 5 bolt 911 hub. My early plans are to use a 911 bearing in a modded control arm without wheel spacers. That may be more work than whats necessary though.
If there's a thread someone knows about that covers this well, point me to it and save the explanation. I have decided any wider than the aa flares and the car gets too obvious and might draw too much attention. |

IIRC, I've seen 9s and 11s (Fuchs) on a 914/6. Dunno if they were factory flares, but this was Otto's car that ran the Parade speed event the first time it was held in Monterey. Maybe 1973?
