I wondered if anyone has tried to run 17" turbo twwist wheels on their 914. The tires that came on the wheels are 205/50/17 fronts, and 255/40/17 rears. Wanting to go less "chunky" on the size, I was advised to go to a 195/40 front, and a 245/35 rear. Also, it looks like I need approx. a 20mm spacer for the rear, and about 13.5mm front. Any help is appreciated. Confused.

You wont be able to bolt them up. You'll need at least a 1" spacer. What I would do is grab a big package of washers and start putting them on the threads until the rim fits like you want it on the fender. Then order the proper spacers.
