I have not found a complete source of accurate information on this topic.
The 914 is listed as having a 108mm four bolt pattern. What measures 108mm? The offset of my empi's are about 100mm. Is this the true specs? I have read else where that offset is a incorrect term. My use of offset is the distance from the inner surface of the wheel to the edge of the wheel rim projected down to the center line. Is this correct? Wheels are measured as 15 x 6.5. How do you measure the with of the rim? Is it from outer (curb surface) to outer or within the bead to bead? If you were to place your ruler on the rims, from what point to what point would you measure? What bolt dia and length and thread patern are standard? Ebay has a set of bolts that are 2 3/8" or 60mm in length and 1 1/2 inch or 36mm thead length. This allows about 50mm engaged inside the rotor hubs. What length should the bolts be inside the rotor hubs to be safely secured? Thanks, L. MCChesney |

What wheels are 108? Is it a typical FWD wheel?
For 15x8's, your best bet is datsun 240 or 260 series wheels, in fact Centerline has these on sale right now for about $80 a piece or 4x4.5 (mustang, which Centerline is also haveing a sale on) You will not find many 15x8's in a 4 bolt pattern, but there are some for sure. There are a few companies on eBay that make these adapters, of course they are not advertised exactly with these bolt circles, so you'll have to read the ads and contact them to make sure the can properly make them. cost wise, I think they are about $150 per pair or something like that. just a word of caution: it gets expensive and a PITA to be different with your wheel choice...I'm running 16x7's with a 4x100 bolt pattern, since I have no flares, I cannot run spacers or adapters so I re-drilled my hubs/rotors...I just picked up a set of 4 16x9's with the correct 4x130 bolt pattern, but I'd have to run 2" flares on the car and right now I don't want to touch the body.
