I think they add about an inch all the way around so 6's max without flares?
I saw a pair "tested" with fuchs sevens on the rear of and there still needed a good inch or more to be able to fit Prolly act like a good sized spacer |

^^^^^^^^
What everyone has said, Don't, get the real thing. Take your time and buy a 911 front and swap the rear for drilled hubs. Check GRP somone said they have a conversion package. CCLINFIVELUGHEAVEN |

just for the rear... buy 911 stuts w/ mcalipers and your golden. if you buy boge 911 struts, you can install the inserts form your 914 boge strut.

Call GPR and ask for ext 502 and talk to Dave the owner....he does package deals on conversions. He will sell ya on exchange a drilled set of rears, new rear bearings and find a used 911 front end. Tell him you know me and he will give ya a good price....mention Brad and the price gets doubled..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/boldblue.gif)
He;s on vacation right now but will be back after the 5th. |

If you wait a couple weeks or maybe a couple more... Brad and Mule/er are making those 'whatever you want' conversions.
Brag.. I mean Brad said they would be the best in the world, and cheap, not to mention insane, crazy, and very interesting. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I am in a mood.. a fun mood. M |

Yes. I will see the first ones off the CNC lathe at the end of next week.
The bolt on adapters are worth 1 inch. B |
