Hi everyone
I can get a really good deal on some Carrera wheels. I was wondering if they would fit my 914 project with GT flares? Rears are 19" x 11. Front 19" x 8.5 Thanks |

'Factory' flares are for 7s in the front and 9s in the rear. There are fiberglass versions made for 9s and 11s. Or do what I did on this car and widen steel flares to match your wheels.
Regardless of the big-wheel-debate, if you appreciate a lowered car, you can't make that work with 19" wheels. On 19" wheels you will be much higher up, and there's nothing (realistic) you can do about it. If you want to spend 100s of hours redesigning the suspension and body to create room, you could. But realistically a 914 with 19" wheel will look VERY high. Attached image(s) |
