Any opinions, or experience with 18" wheels on street/track 914? Trailing arms reinforced, but thats all.
I am running 17's now. If the Boxster needed changes to run 18's, can a 914 dare? I want to. |

True...GM now specifies and sells specific 20" wheels and tires engineered for "aftermarket/upgrades", in some cases, they want you to install a plate/bracket in the wheel well to help prevent the wheel from coming into the cabin in an accident. my 20" rims/tires of my truck are lighter than the factory rims and tires (and so is my wallet (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) ) ...most of those flashy/ugly rims sold for trucks wiegh too damn much |
