Can a 914 be converted to run vw 205 wheels? Or is it out of the question?

IIRC, Bug wheels are farther out in the fenders than 914 wheels are, due to their offset. You'll be moving their mounting face further out with adapters, exacerbating that problem.
You might have to run fender flares just to use 5.5" wheels!! --DD |
