-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I know it has already been discussed but I am new to the 914 forum. Just bought 2 914 projects so you will probably hear ALOT from me..... First question is what is the biggest wheel and tire combo you can go on stock fenders? I have a set of 6" and 7" Porsche wheels (cookie cutters) mounted on 195/60's and 135's. I would like to use them since I have them........ Next question is how do you lower the car. I havent got them ripped apart yet so I dont have a clue. I might only want to drop the front down an inch or so and thats about it............. Next ......I would like to know where I can get some catalogs. I have been researching and found AutoAtlanta but no others......... |

Welcome Habeeb. Many here run the stock or after market Fuchs. They are a 15" x 5.5 wheel with anywhere from 185's to 205/50/15's. some still run the stock 165/60/15's. As for the 6 & 7" wheels I'm thinking you're going to need to do some flaring (but not sure on that one).
Lowering the rear you'll need to get some shocks with adjustable spring perches. As for the front there are adjustments that can be turned a little at a time for the desired ride heigth. Pick up a 914 Haynes Manual at a local Import parts house. It will show where the adjustments are. Pelican is a great place for parts www.pelicanparts.com Have fun with the 2 new adventures (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beer.gif) ....b |
