So here is the big question...how do you go about fitting a 10" wide rear wheel on a stock fendered 914? Spacers and lip rolling? I have been told many times that this can not be done. On ebay for the next 15 hours there is a stock fendered 914 with a v8 conversion from FL that has it done. He has told me that his wrench man has added stiffer springs and modified the koni struts out back for everything to work. So what does anyone have to say about this? Is it do-able or am I looking for trouble down the road?

Maybe he is measuring over-all width and getting the measurement from the wrong place?

Maybe he is measuring over-all width and getting the measurement from the wrong place? I'd bet a doughnut that you're right. The spec cross section for a 225 Hoosier on a 7" rim is 9". So I'd believe that he attempted to measure the overall cross section, and got kinda close to 10"... Nice looking car though... -Josh2 |
