Hi everyone,
I bought my 914 (first and only, so far) last summer. I have been looking at buying a set of wheels and all of the styles available for the 4x130 bolt pattern seem so dated, so I'm considering drilling the hubs/rotors for 4x100 to accept a more modern wheel style. Has anyone done this? If so, what type of wheel did you use - I'd love to see examples of 4x100 wheels on the 914. Also, what offset, width, etc. can you run on a stock-fendered 914? If this has been covered on the forums elsewhere I appologize. I did a search and found a couple of vague references to 4x100 wheels. TIA |

Yep, I've done it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/MDB2.gif)
16x7 Konig rims with 205/45/16's....40mm offset Re-drilled front stock /4 hubs and re-drilled rear flanges....press in studs. 7's are about the widest rim and 205's are about the widest tire under a bone stock fender....PITA, not sure if I'd recommend it, the front hubs need additional machining and spacers since the wheels sit too far inboard (perfect in the rear) Dave Cawdrey (Korijo) is or was selling his 4x100 rims and tires along with the re-drilled hubs/flanges a while back, not too sure if they sold or not. A VW/Porsche shop in Washinton(?) can do the re-drilling/mod's for I think about $400 total. QUOTE this brings up the new rotors that are in development -- any news on that? I'm still waiting for them...I guess the shop is doing Brad a favour so it's not a high prioity to get them whipped out........I gave the shop the raw materials (2 15lb billets at 4 bucks a pound.......out of my pocket..ouch)(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-2-1050513054.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-2-1050513092.jpg) |
