.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 |

8x16 Offset 23.3 (944) Backspace mm 120
951.362.117.00; offset compatible for front application 7x16 Offset 23.3 (944) Backspace mm 138 951.362.115.00, add'l clearance for larger calipers I have 4 951 7” and 4 8” If the 8” look like they will not fit right then I will use the 7” 951 with the 225/50 16 that should still be good tire on all 4 fours. I have not put my new trick suspension on yet but it is going on very soon. I will test fit the tires on rims and then if the 245 are too big I will use them on my 9” on my 86 Carrera. The ones on there look new but are 9 years old. Bob |
