A good friend of mine purchased new BBS wheels for his 996 and gave me his turbo twist 18's for my 914 6 GT project. The offsets seem quite large (rear measures 8 1/2" from hub face to interior face of rim) and i don't know if they will fit under the steel flares (not installed yet) even with big spacers.
It seems as if I remember an article a few years ago regarding a silver conversion done by GPR where they put these wheels on a flared car. I think I'd like to use these for street wheels until I fine the right size fuchs to put on the car. Any body have any experience with these wheels on a 914?
Any ideas or experience would be helpful!
You will need spacers, for sure... and I think at that point, you also need more outside room..

If they are true Turbo Twist hollow spokes.. sell them and buy a set of Fuchs for it. Seriously. Weigh a front and a rear wheel and tell me what the number is. I'll tell you if you have a gold mine or not. The hollow spokes are VERY sought after.

I ran late offset 9in rims and had to use 54mm spacers. room was very tight. 10's???
More info:
front part number is: 993.362.134.05
size: 7.5Jx18 - ET50
Can't access rears without moving a bunch of stuff in the garage...bummer!
Does that help?
