Before I wrecked this car. It has subtle flairs, and 7x17 in front and 9x17 in rear on Mille Millia repro Cup1 wheels from a 944. These fit with no spacers needed. Now Scotty B has been using them while my next car is being worked on by him. The ass end is sitting high because there is no engine or tranz in that pic, IIRC. Later, it lowered out nicely.


I always liked that car , Doc . Damn nice lookin 914 , love the Gray ( Grey ) color.

Just curious about how far you had to stretch the rears...

Thats what you were looking for, right? Plenty of room for more tire! I could probably run 225s.

I've always thought 17 inch wheels fill out the wheel well very nicely on the 914.

On mine, I'm running 18'' twists on both front and rear.

Oddly, all four wheels started out as 18x10's with a 40mm offset. i sent them off for refinishing, and had 2 of the wheels narrowed 2'', and those two are used for the fronts.

The fronts are mounted on 1979 930 hubs with the factory 1''spacer.
The rears are mounted on the 914/6 hubs with a bolt on 2'' spacer.
Everything fits good, with no rub front or rear.

Four lug Revolution wheels. Bought on a group buy many years ago. No longer available. (I think). Nice looking wheel but VERY heavy. I'm looking to go 5 lug, so they might be for sale some time in the future. Or as soon as I can find a 911 front suspension and a wheel I like.

17x8.5 fronts with 17x10 rears. The rears are 275/40 tires and are a little too big. I plan to replace these with 255/40 when I put the wheels on my LS1 car.

3-piece Fuchs built wide but with 914-
proper offsets.

Built as 7.5x16" with 37.5mm offset using 1.5" and
6" BBS shells. I have 1/4" spacer on fronts, could use
more, but not for now.

Rear fenders have the lip (1970) rolled over and just
hand pulling. No more room in rear wells! (Outside or
inside). This is with 215/40/16 Kumho V710 autocross
tires. Fine tuning on rear with thin spacers on 1 side.

No pics, but 205/50/15s on 6X15 Fuchs fit fine all the way around for a narrow body, no spacers, rolling or pulling.

Steel GT flares are being fitted right now. 265/45/16 on 9X16 Fuchs seem to fit on the rear without any spacers. The fronts will be 225/50/16 on 7X16 Fuchs (23mm offset) and may need a small spacer to fill out the fenders.

7.5x16 205-55x16 lip rolled, 7 wide would be perfect.
