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

put 6 inch wheels on it...
and the same advice for all 4cylinder guys. 7's with 944 offset are just not ideal for stock fenders 6's are fine |
