I have recently aquired a 73 914 with 2.0 FI. It has set up for a while but has been covered in a garage. I am going to bring it back to life and have one question. As I have 4 VWs including 1 type 4 bus, will a set of Empi 4lug wheels fit on a 4 lug 914. The car has 3 of the factory wheels like I have seen in some pictures and 1 VW wheel installed. I want to move it to a better place (My Garage)and I have the aforementioned wheels and would like to put them on. Is that Kosher or should I just try to find the missing wheel. I am new to the whole Porsche scene but I am familiar with the 2.0 FI cause thats the engine in my Type 4 bus. I have worked on VWs for about 12 years and I am expanding my Hobby.

The EMPI & Western wheels with the VW offset will only fit up to 165s on the rear wheel well.
You can use them to move it, then hunt down either the missing 2 Fuchs 2L wheels (originally 5 in a set including spare) or a full set & sell the odd 3 of yours. They'll have the proper offset for wider 195/65R15 & larger tires if you choose them, are lighter than just about any others (10.1 lbs. IIRC each) and look great on narrow body 914/4's IMHO.
