Anyone running these on their 914? I wanted 7's but it seems like it takes some magic to get them to fit in the rear, therefore I think I want to go the easy route of 6's albeit at a higher cost probably.
Thanks Phillip ps I will break out of the newbie stage soon enough. |

The rotors are stock 4 cylinder versions that were drilled and studs were installed.

![]() Edit: now that I think about it, these are 7's with 205/45's. Sorry. Did have to stretch the rear fenders a bit. |

Here are some 16x6 Boxter wheels F/R on my DD with 195/50/16 Khumo Ecsta's courtesy of Porsche Rescue, got my monies worth out of these Jim! Just received, after a considerable wait time, some Harvey Weideman reconditioned 16x6 Fuchs in the boxes, finished like 15's. Going on soon.
These wheels/tires for sale, $500. ![]() ![]() |

Backspacing same as 911, no spacers needed.

16x6 Boxster wheel offset is 50mm, not the same 6" fuchs (36mm). IMO ~35mm is the best offset for getting wheels centered on the rear, you could use about a half-inch spacer.
I once test-fitted 6x15 phone dial (52mm) and it rubbed on the inside. |

I think the random tire I had was 205/60 (stockish diameter). |
