I think I have covered the most common Fuchs wheel size combos for a GT tribute or clone. This would be for aggressive street and possibly light track use. Pick a wheel size combo that you think looks best in your opinion. Then list your reasons ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
BTW I am certain most have seen this article on Eric Shea's GT: http://www.retromodmag.com/features/porsche-914-6-gt Edit: please post pics to further illustrate your preference! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

What tires sizes are you using on your fantastic yellow 914-6GT Looks like from the pictures that they are Pirelli P4s and the front is a 195/65/15 on a 7" Fuchs What's the rear size tire....the wheel is noted in the article as an 8" Fuchs Thanks...John |
