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 have 195x65x15 on 2.0 Fuchs on my 1.7 car and it looks and fits great.
I have 205x60x15 on 5 lug Fuchs on my 3.2 car. One side was a little tight but I pulled it out by hand and it's fine. The 205 look a little too wide if you want a more period correct look. |
