Hey everyone I just have a question. I have a 1975 914 and I found rims I want to buy. I was wondering what is the maximum width for rims on stock fenders? Thanks

7" wide in the back. 205/50-15 rubber in this picture:

So 7" front and rear would work then right? Thanks

Yes, front and back.

I should have stated it more clearly. Strangely, the rear is the limiting factor.
