QUOTE(Ace Le Count @ Jul 26 2024, 09:08 PM)  Can a 914 be converted to run vw 205 wheels? Or is it out of the question? Dude, that's been an itch that I was always gonna scratch at some point. Seriously. You just had the gall to bring it up here (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hide.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) I don't think you'll need to do anything other than buy '130x4 to 205x5 adapters'. There are a few on the market but I recently narrowed them down to some that look superior (I'll need to find them in notes I made). Those adapters have "cone-seat" style holes at the 130x4 positions. This is great because you can install flush flat-head retaining bolts (then cover them with aluminum drum skins - see fibre steel website). The problem is finding the correct flush bolts (14mm x 1.50 I think). I found some in titanium but there was a 50 count minimum. I was planning on installing bullet studs at the 205x5 positions. BTW, Cip1 has a smoking deal on a wheel and tire package right now! |
