So I took a chance on putting on 16X7 on a stock body, not going to work. Put the wheel on with no tire and it was easy to see I had a problem. Brake clearance was not a issue but the fender sure was. Stock 4 Fuchs has a 45 ET and the 16x6 Boxster has a 50ET. 23.3 offset was going the wrong way. Looks like I would need a 7R wheel but they are 15".

Yea, whomever designed that portion of the car really didn't want 914 owners to have wide tires without painful or expensive modifications.
Fenders look too nice and original to pull or tweak. PO of my car said rear fenders are stock however I think they've been pulled a little. I too have some 23mm 15x7s that are going on the car. Currently with 7's but they are 53mm offset with spacers. I really wish I hadn't given away the extra set of rear trailing arms I had since I'd like to try the Rich Johnson method of moving the hub inboard 20mm or so. |
