What are my options...

I know about the 2.0 wheel and the Riviera. What else is there?

Thanks, John

4 lug wheel thread discussion

there are factory Mahles and factory Pedrinis....these are the same size as the 4-lug Fuchs

after that, you go with the cheap 8-spoke Empi knockoffs or the vw bug rivieras or western rims or 4 spoke American Racing(?)or spend the money and get new wheels such as those posted on the thread link above....

supposedly there will be a proper fitting 15x6 rim being brought in from Australia, but from the one picture I saw of them installed on the front of a 914, the rears fitment looks questionable to me....

forget checking out Tire Rack (actually they might sell the Revolutions still, they did for a while)...or any other of the usual wheel/tire shops, they won't have a listing or will try to sell you VW Bug rims........

for aftermarket rims, "most" people installed the VW offset rims, cheap and easy, but they limit the tire width (in the rear) that one can mount...not a problem 30 years ago when everyone had skinny tires (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

for bone stock fenders, the general rule is no wider than a 7" rim with a 205mm tire....of course offset of the rim greatly affects these numbers.......

Off-the-shelf new wheels won't work, nobody makes a 4x130 bolt pattern anymore.

If you don't get a set of older wheels (Fuchs, Mahles, Pedrini's etc), then you'll want to look towards custom wheels. If you want it on the cheap, a company like Diamond Raicng Wheels makes good, cheap wheels in nearly any size, and offset you want. If you want lighter, the next step is likely to be something like Circle Wheels. After that, custom Panasports, Revolutions, Weld, Real, CCW, Fikse and so forth will wind up running you at LEAST $1k for a set, if not much more.

As for what will fit? Nearly anything under 8" wide can fit up front, lots of room there. In the rear, you're limited. A 7" wheel with jsut the right backspacing will fit, but it'll be snug. And not all cars were built the same. They were handbuilt remember? So while a 205.60-15 may fit back there on a Fuchs on one car, it may not on another. I managed to shoehorn 225/55-14's under the stock fenders on 14x6's a number of years ago. Not ideal, but it worked...

Enkei's, but these have a bug offset. With a 205x55 tire, a lot of pulling on the fender to get them to fit with lots of neg camber too.

Thanks, I've got two sets of Rivies and will probably use those (if I ever figure out how to remove those damn jackstands!!) until I can find a set of rims I really like.

I like 'em, too, if these are the ones you mean. PO gave me a set when I bought car. Use them for my street tires. But these are VW offset, so 195/65 max.

I also would like to find a 17" or 18" rim that would fit stock fenders. What would the offset be for a stock fender set up?
What is the max width for the front and back tire size with stock fenders.
Thanks
Mark

i think 17x7 with 36mm offset is what the revolutions are... and they are close.

7" fuchs are a 23mm offset IIRC...

so a 36 puts it closer to the center....

Will 7" work for the front and back? Is there a local dealer or person that sells that size wheel for 4 lug?
Thanks
