Hi,
Tried to find on google but not sure if I understand well. A seller of a 914 said that the car has 911 (5 lugs) fuchs 16' wheels with 6' in the front and 7' in the rear with 205/55/16 tires but no sparewheel... sorry for my dumb question but if I can source a sparewheel and can find a 16' 6' 5 lug will it fit both front and rear ? is 6' the width ? (sparewheel only to get home) krgds Dax |

Dax,
those collapsible spares were the standard spare tire in the 944's (maybe other Porsche models, too). Very light and usually pretty easy to find. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) $50-75. If you use a steel spare, make sure the lugnuts will tighten down. Its really an issue with 4 lugs aluminum wheels. The lugbolts are too long for a steel wheel. |
