I'm running 195's on my car and I did have to roll the inside lip of the rear fender for clearance. No problem moving forward, but on occasion when I'm backing up, the driver side rear tire will still rub the fender lip. I'm guessing this is just because in reverse it "torques" the tranny. (This is the second 914 I've had, and the first one did the same thing.)
Any way to fix this? Thanks. |

My 75 did this with 195 too, I never found a root cause but put 100 LB springs in the rear and I no longer have this issue. Please post your progress for those who need to know...
Best of luck -Robert |
