The cookies will fit and IMO they look good on a 914,early 944 had the ATS cookie cutters as standard so they are fairly easy to find @ a fair price. Someone may chime in on these comments but from memory the offset of the 7" ones is correct but you will need to go larger in tyre profile to get the correct gearing for your speedo,I think 205/55/15 but that's not quite right,check on a tyre size calculator. 15'' tyres are getting harder to find so spent some time doing this (IMG:style_emoticons/default/type.gif) ,I have a set of these rims and they have bald 215/55/15's which I think is about right. Good luck. |
