@http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=822 . I think is running these.
If you buy them I can pick up and crate them.
Hell...I can arrange shipping too.
Let me know,

I had 245/35R16 tires on 9" wheels on the back of my GT and they were a tight fit. Love the FM10 wheel, but I don't think the 255 tires will work.

Ben already reached out to me. My receipt shows the following:
8x17 5-130mm (19mm)
9x17 5-30mm (6mm)
I don’t know how the above compares to his measurements.
Too bad my car is in the shop. Corona is less than an hour from my house.

I’m running 245 in the rear. 255 racing tires fit, but the pilot sports have a curb rib that was rubbing, so I had to drop down to 245.

They fit an SC , they will fit GT flairs. My 9x15s rub on SCs with 225s..
But, looking at the pic ..if the SC was lower they would rub..maybe ?? ..need at least a backspace dimension and overall width.
may need to repaint the rear...
probably bending or cutting lips min.
found this;same seller from sept.

Sixnotfour,
Could you say where you found the six tire/wheel cross section images? This looks like a handy tool to understand tire/wheel size, offset, backspacing, etc., especially when trying to compare combinations. Is this a calculator available on a tire supplier website? Thanks.
Bigkat,
Your car looks great. I usually think 17" wheels on a 914 look too big, but your combination works well.
Posted by: Andyrew Nov 13 2019, 07:29 AM
Looks like you'll need to run some small spacers ~ 15mm.
That's pretty minimal.
If you like them I say do it.

Ignore the car to the left

The (very nice) gray car’s flares are extended forward or lengthened. Good move. Looks like it helps with the front valence.

Im trying to find someone to be able to modify my 2 sets of 16" Gotti wheels to make 17's x 9 and 10's. It is so hard to find good sticky tires in 16's that are wide.
