Got a line on a good set of 18" Turbo Twist Porsche wheels off of a boxter. They will be going on a my car once I install the FG flares. That is if they will fit. They are 18"x10 (65mm ET) rear and 18" X7.5 (50mm ET) front. Do you think they will work on the 914 with flares? Also anyone have pics of these on a 914?
Thanks again, Blair |

Thanks again, Blair Stock GT flares? If so, the 18x10 won't fit, even if they had perfect offset. The GT flares are made to fit 15x9 wheels.

I think the offset on those is way off. I had a set on one of my previous cars, and I had to run 100MM studs with the largest wheels spacers from Weltmeister.

Yes I run 18x10's in the back. Spacers galore though.. I have about 2.5" of spacers in the back, just make sure you run quality spacers.

Bunch more pics in my signature. |
