I'm thinking very seriously about trying to get a set of Porsche Design 90 Aluminum rims under the fenders of my 914-6.
See these webpages to remind yourself what the Design 90s look like: http://www.wheelenhancement.com/Design.htm http://www.porsche964.co.uk/rev_rep/aufwheels.htm My fenders have not been flared or rolled. Right now I have 5 bolt Fuches on 195 R 15 (I think they're 15s; I don't remember for sure). Will the Design 90's fit? Thanks in advance, Douglas |

Mueller,
Thanks for the advice and the pictures. That's really cool. Additional complications: First I have black four piston calipers from a 944 with vented rotors in front and the 914-6 solid rotors (that used to be in front) now in the rear. The front brakes are a tight fit but the PO added washers at each lug stud, behind the wheel and that allows the Fuches to clear the brakes without scraping the "Porsche" letters off. In addition, the car has been substantially lowered. In front the torsion bars are lowered to maximum lowness. In back, 165 lb springs have been installed--with accompanying shortness (I think an inch or maybe 1 1/2 inches shorter than stock). So I imagine that getting the Design 90s under there will not be easy, if possible at all, without raising the car back up to stock height. What do you think? Douglas |
