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?

Here's a pic of a 914 with a 10 inch wheel with a 5 inch backspace. The fronts are 8 inch and based on that his rears do look like 9s. Note the difference of wheel to the top of the fender opening at the rear. The 4 X 4 jack-up works for him, eh?
His springs look like standard diameter which means 200 in/lb maximum. Attached thumbnail(s) |
