Hello all,
I have converted the hubs of my 1973 914/4 to 5 lug in order to install a set of 7x15 cookie cutters wearing 195s. I put them on but i get LOADS of rubbing in the rear. I love the 7x15 stance and dont want to go narrower rims What tyre sizes is possible to fit inside the standard fenders ? Your help and experience is greatly appreciated |

Your help and experience is greatly appreciated Your problem is rim offset, not tires. 23mm offset is not enough for the rear. Options: Pull or tweak rear fenders. Modify the rear trailing arms, which would involve cutting and welding to move the wheel inboard. Correct offset wheels. Not Honda or Audi where you can stretch and add camber just to run wide wheels with tiny stretched tires. |
