I have started to fit my new flares. I have Fuch's all around, 16x8 on the back and 16x7 on the front. I have been to 3 tires shops here in Seattle and I am frustrated as no one seems to be able give advice unless they match to a car year and model.
What do you all recommend? I want a lower profile, a flat to receding sidewall and good looks. Here are some project shots... Phase 3 Phase 3 - 2 TIA! Larouex |

Common width for those wheels and a flared 914 is 205 & 225 front and rear. You might want to decide on a tire diameter and then pick the appropriate aspect ratio using a tire size calculator. Then decide if it looks right.
You might need a spacer for the front to fill out the wheel well. PS - Not an expert, just my opinion. |
