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

Get rid of those damn washers as soon as possible!!!!!! the load is not being evenly distributed to the wheel and hub surface....the wheel can be damaged from this !!!!

okay...off of rant (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Since you'll be running a small spacer, you shouldn't have problems with caliper clearance.

Guessing that you are running 195/60/15's...you'd want to go with 205/50/16's on the new rims....the diameter on both is ~24.1 +/- .1 inches

You should not have to raise the vehicle at all......just go with a tire that'll keep the same (or close) diameter.

The 6" rim would be the safer choice so that for sure no fender modifications need to be done. It might also be easier and cheaper to find 6" rims for these cars.
(standard front rim width on the C2's)

Here is a web site to plug in your tire information to play with:
