Hi ya'll
After waiting 30 years I finally got my 1st. 914 ( YEA! ) It came with Riveara wheels. The trouble is, it also has very tall and skinny tires on it. 165 R15. I would go to shorter fatter tires but..... There is absolutely NO room to go wider. The previous owner even had to curl the inside lip of the wheel opening to get these on! How do I measure these rims to determine their offset and what offset do I need in a rim to go with more acceptable, re: driveable, tire? Thanks, Bill (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

measure from the inside mating suface of the wheel to the inside lip. the bad news. you will prob find larger tires will rub the fender lip. you want numbers closer to fact fuchs. if you like that style, look for fomula vee rims. they were a dealer installed item i believe. you can run 195/60's with them. there are some at www.the samba.com, priced pretty resonably.
