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 |

My street set-up is a 195/50 on Riviera's.
Same backspacing as the Empi. Only rubbed the driver's side rear. A little fender roll and we're good. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smash.gif) KT Attached image(s) |
