Hello Group
I want to get a set of American Racing, Empi 8 spoke wheels. I found them locally at a air cooled VW supplier, great price. I used to talk with these boys a few hundred years ago and they were into the 914 scene, now not so much. They can't confirm these would fit a 914, do to the offset. I am using a 195 tire with no clearence problems. I am worried about the center hole dia and offset. For a last resort I could buy one and try it but it is not refundable if it has been mounted/used. Not to mention the shipping. Can some kind person confirm that these work, or someone that has them, take a couple measurements for me, or even better the American Eagle part # so I can ask the parts guy if it is the same. Lots to ask from this forum newbi (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/pray.gif) Thanks Joe |

how much room do you have right now between your tires and the rear fender lip?
take one of your current rims off, measure from the hub (mating surface) to the outside edge of the rim(the rim, not the tire) now do the same with the 8-spoke wheels if the shop will let you...if the measurement on the 8-spoke wheels is less, than your current rims and your tires are very close to the fenders, then the 8-spoke rims more than likely will rub with the 195's most bug shops sell those rims for about $50 to $75 each new....personally I'd save my money and get some good quality rims like the 15x7 revolutions that are being advertised in the resource center (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) |
