New to me 914-6. Very original unmolested. Tires are too old to use and I have a set of 911 fuchs. Today I had a cheap 195/60/15 mounted on the 15x7 just to see how it would look. I suppose I could go a bit narrower if I needed to but i really like the look and would just hang on to the originals. The combo fits but just barely. I'd probably only have to roll the inner lip at the top of the fender. No pulling. I don't want to hurt resale but the cars I'm seeing sell are not concours and have some modification at a minimum. Anyone think rolling that inside lip is a big deal? Looks like the fender in the picture had something bend the lip at some point anyway. Any input welcome. Thx

Keep it stock (bring it back to stock) and get proper wheels made as Jeff suggests. To-date, European buyers are driving the values of these cars through the roof. I would fix the rear panel and the dash and get the wheels widened as mentioned. It's one of the rarest production model Porsche's ever built.
