Wider is better for cornering, everyone knows that.
If that's the case, why did Porsche engineers leave so much usable room under the front fenders? Was it because they adapted some other cars geometry to the 914? I have seen wheel spacers for our cars, have many of you used them to widen the track of the front end? I don't race my car and it would just be for esthetic value but I have considered putting spacers in to "fill out the front fenders" but was wondering if it would screw up some other front end geometry. What do you think? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) |
