People throw tire and wheel sizes around but they usually dont show offset.
Does anyone know where I can find a dependable chart. |

Your back spacing needs to be no more than 4 5/8th....
And if it's less, the wheel sits t farther. |

Your back spacing needs to be no more than 4 5/8th.... And if it's less, the wheel sits t farther. The 6 x 15 I am looking at now have a 112 mm backspace or 4 13/32 so, 4 5/8th back spacing is 117.475 MM You are 5.475 mm away from stock. (sounds like a beetle offset, or in range of one of the beetle aftermarket wheels) Those wheels will sit out towards the fender by about 5mm more than other wheels... Pretty darn close. With a 6 inch wheel and the right size tire, you should be fine. If you like the wheel, buy them. You may need to go to a decent small tire store that will work with you to try on some rubber... ALL 914s are different ALL 914s are different from one side to the other. We have put 7 inch wheels on a narrow body non rolled fender car...they fit. rich |
