Just got my 225/50R15's under the fenders. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) This is the look I've been wanting for The Turd. The steelies are widened 15 x 7's. The offset is a little negative so I actually had to put 8mm spacers on. Yes, the rear fenders have been pushed out about 3/4". With the spacers I have about 1/2" clearance on either side of the wheel on the rear. No problems on the front. Been driving it through the "twisties" and no rubbing! Now I need to find a set of good shiny hubcaps. These don't show it but they are well used and I only have 2 of them.

ME733 - Please understand that I mean no disrespect to the car. It was given the name "The Brown Turd" by the previous owner. This was prior to my re-do of the car and the name truly fit it. Eric is right; I cannot change the legacy and the creation of a mad scientist. It is not possible.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) well ok , if your good with the name what the heck!.....BUT I think you should enter YOUR CAR in the car of the month contest, because it,s that nice., the rear fender flairs are the most suttle,and appropiate I have ever seen. They look "natural" like all 914 should have been made with them. That natural. white is my all time favorite porsche color., red interior is perfect in a white car, ....out of curosity whats the engine and chassis mods, How did you do the fender flairs,....guess I,m trying to say TELL US MORE ABOUT your 914!!...
