914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Wheel offset with GT flares?

Posted by: ORANGE2 Nov 29 2005, 11:51 PM

I would like to try and put some Rondell Model # 58's on my 914. I currently have 914/6 fuchs on my car now with 5 lug adaptors(not conversion). I also put a set of steel GT flares on the car. I need to know what the offset should be, what the hub bore is, and the lug pattern 5 x 120????. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Porsche is 5x130mm

do they make those wheels in Porsche fitments or only BMW?

Here is Joe O'Briens car with 17x9s (255/40/17) on the back, 53.3mm offset with a 42mm spacer (I'm sure you can do the math )

for the front, many people run a 7" wide rim with a 23mm offset and a 1" spacer to move the wheels out closer to the fender

why a 7" with a spacer?

7 or 8's I have run at least a 15mm spacer upfront, push them out a bit and or to keep the tire off the inside at lock, especially with slicks.

Ronals come in 5x130 and proper offsets, had a set, 16x9 16x8's. et 15 on the back is good with the larger rims and flares

I dunno, you got to ask the people running them

with the 911 16x8, you'll still want to run a spacer and the 951 16x8 which would fit better without a spacer is expensive....

so, it I'm guessing cost and or that they are running 8's in the rear and want smaller rims up front...
