.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 |

On a conversion, I have currently mounted 16 X 7 with 215 55 up front and 225 X 45 rear. THe rears are rolled and pulled but only visible to the highly astute. Unless you figure this car is going back to stock some day then why not do it tastefully. With all the mods it seems unlikely.
As most have said ...205 X 50 is not enough tire......I had issues with a warm 2 liter for traction and you have way more torque. TOT |

TOT I like the look of the offset between the front and the rear sizes of the cars wheels and tires. Thus the 7s and 8s. Just like the Carrera's and the GTs. A 205 seems like a small size when I have a 205/50 on my 5.5 Fuchs 4 lug on my 76 car. I found a money shot of the green car. It should be entered into the car of the month for a green factory 6. I had a 70-911s in that same color in 77. I also found another shot of sixnot4s car. Just pull the rear out a little and put a 951- from a 944 turbo 8” on there. If the 245 will not fit then a 225 will fit for sure. Bob   245/45/16 on 951 8" on white car not green car |
