Looking for recommendations from those of you who have been there done that. I am about to order wheels for my 914 with the Sheridan standard body kit, and I am going the custom offset route to avoid needing spacers. It will be a street car, fair weather only, and although drivability is important, looks/proportions are #1. I know it is subjective, but I am settling in on 17x8 up front, and 17x9.5 in the rear. Tire sizes unknown but will be somewhere around 225/40 in front and 255/40 rear.
Ultimately I would like to know what wheel/tire sizes and offsets work for you, and pictures if you have them. Also any gotchas to watch out for so I don’t make an expensive mistake. I will be using the Percy wheel rite tool for checking clearances, and I want to get the wheel as close as possible to the fender lip. BTW - Wheels will probably be the Rotiform FUC 2-piece; they look nice and the price is right vs the 3-piece options out there. Thanks! |

Just to close the loop I ended up stumbling across Euromister wheels about that same time. I liked the look and price was much kinder than custom so I went that route.
Ended up going with 225 45ZR17 up front and 255 40ZR17 in the back. She’s just about to come off these stands and a little dirty but this is how it looks today. I love it from side to front angle, while the rear look has some large gaps; but heck, goes with the 70’s look (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) |
