I was able to fit 195's on a set of Empi style wheels, on a stock body 914. I did have to shave about 1/4" of the fender lip on one side though. It was '84 and I didn't know about rolling the fender lips with a ball bat, so I used a jig saw with a metal cutting blade and shaved off enough so the tire wouldn't rub.
