My set of sprinstars fits nicely at the front but I cant squeeze them in under the rear fenders. I have 175/80 tires on them and the body is stock narrow.
Are there any tires that would make them fit? Lars S |

that's what I do! Group: Members Posts: 20,065 Joined: 27-December 02 From: Port Hope, Ontario Member No.: 26 Region Association: Canada |
Original steel Sprintstars came in all different offsets, the set I have fit perfectly with 185's and 195's, but I may have had to roll the fenders for 205's.
My 914 is a 1974 I know some of the earlier cars had less room. If you have the new reproduction aluminum sprintstars they have one offset only, really made for a bug. |

My Empis are from -73 and the 914 is a -72. There is not much needed, about 1/3" to get them in under the fenders and have a little margin, I think fender rolling would do it...but the new paint.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) ...maybe I test 165's instead, I guess a lower profile would be easier then a higher? /Lars S |
