914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Flares and tires

Posted by: Kerrys914 Jun 22 2003, 06:21 PM

I have another question for ya guys....

I have some 15x7 wheels on my 914 with a 1" spacer up front.

How much does the front suspension travel (up and down)?

It seems like when I am turning and the shock compresses it may hit the flare? Should I trim the inner lip of the flare to help with the clearance?

DOES anyone have a photo of the front tire on a car with flares? Or better yet a car with the tire at full turn?

Cheers
Kerry

i run the same setup. 15x7 and a 1" spacer in the front.
i shaved the lip on the FG fenders.
never had a problem so far.

it looks pretty close tho ...
