I am sure this has been covered, but I don’t seem to be able to find a general consensus on what tires will fit under the stock fenders. I’d really like to know what size tire you’re running and are happy with.
I believe the 914 originally came with 165HR15 - which were 165/80HR15. But I have seen that a lot of people use 195-65-15. Is that right? Back in the 80s I think I ran 195-50-15. Or even 205-50-15. I have stock fenders, and am using Pedrinis. I prefer not to use a spacer. Suggestions? What are you running? Pictures of your 914 clad in your favorite size? |

I’m planning to buy 195x60 for a replica 2.0 fuch wheels.
I did 205x60 on a 911 6” wide fuch wheels but for 5.5 I think 205 is a little wider. 195x55 kinda low and 195x50 also and gives a stock speedo wrong numbers. And 195x65 is kinda give higher side walls but almost accurate on speedo. Well that is for my own understanding/opinion. Again it all depends how each owner/driver wants it. |
