914 with steel flares (AA GT copies). Not installed yet so have room for metal negotiation during the install. Already a 5 lugger.
Obvious a few variables such as ride height to take into consideration. What is the widest wheel combination that can be used? 7x15 front and 8x15 rear seems to be the common yet dated and am trying to get away from those size's. What about 17 inch wheels with a lower profile tire? Anyone ever run 7.5X17 in front and 9x17 in the rear? Would like to use 16 or preferably 17 inches wheels due to tire options available .What are some of the back space measurements you guys have used? Looking for feedback and idea's. Have not decied on wheels yet. Like the Rota Fox's and the price is right. Also considering used factory Fuchs as an option but I am unsure of backspace/offsets for the 914. Not worried about rubber robbing HP since a fat six is pushing. |
