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? 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 Well, I think that mystery is solved I can't tell from the underside pic, but wasn't there a guy on the old board (I think his name was Timo) who narrowed his trailing arms to fit wider wheels and tires under stock fenders??? And how exactly would modifying the trailing arm help with the available space between the car body and the fender? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) A modified trailing arms will only move the wheel relative to the fender. It doesn't help with trying to squeeze a 10" wheel into a 8" opening ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) Andy Really, narrowing the trailing arms doesn't create 2" of space (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) By the looks of the offset on those wheels narrowing the trailing arms would help in fitting them under stock fenders, but I agree with everyone, there is no way 10" wheels can fit under stock looking fenders. Narrowing the Trailing Arms would not increase the space between the inner & outer wheel walls, it would just give you a weaker Trailing Arm. I have seen quite a few wheel treatments on a 914 that without spacers created a rubbing on the inner wheel wall. T.C. |
