.I have been running searches for a couple of hours but can't find any info on fitment of 7r fuchs on a 914.
I have a narrow body 1970 factory 914-6 that has a hot 3.2SS motor and a close ratio LSD box Dr Evil built for me. It currently has 205/50 on 6 x 15 fuchs. Not enough tire . I have some AA metal flairs I got in a group buy a couple of years ago that I inteneded to install. I have four 9 x 16 fuchs that I was going to install all around . Certainly would take care things I am having second thoughts about installing flairs. It is just so much fun having a stock looking 914 with a big motor. I have access to a set of 4 7r Fuchs with 225/50 Brigestones. These are the Fuchs with the large backspacing Is anyone have 7Rs fitted to a narrow body? What tires can you fit? What spacers? Thanks Tom |

The seven rsr wheel fits great with a 205 but not 225 unless the fender lip is adjusted ruining the stock look I would agree that if you have a nice car with a big engine keep the stock wheel wells. A real sleeper! ] On the other hand making a 914 into a GT clone is the rage these days much like the guys are doing with the 911 models turning them into an rs. The best candidates for this conversion are the 964 models. I would not put 9 inch in the front only 7 inch. You do not need them and it will affect turn in.

Thanks Tom George, I plan to run 8" 16 up front and 9" 16 in the back of my 6 #41 with your flares. Roll the lips and put an Elephant front turn limiter so the front tires do not scrape the inner fender wells. No spacers. Tom, The picture shown is of my V8 car with 7” x 16 Fuchs 911 offset. The lip is rolled. This car is getting 951 offset 7” and 8” Fuchs with 245 rears and 225 fronts. There are pictures of people on this board running 8” 951 wheels with just a small bit of adjustment to the stock body. The 8” 951 look just like the 7” 911 wheel and need just the lip rolled. One of them will step up or you may find it in the search area. 8 rear 7 front Bob  |
