What is the original tire size on 14" five lug Fuchs ?
I have the original spare 175 SR 14 Is that right?
Also what happened to the tire calculator on the site?
Thanks,914/Alan

The 14 inch wheels have a favorable offset
(Closest porsche offset to a 7R)

I’ve always theorized that the chassis was originally designed around this wheel)

Because of this offset you can get away with wider tires if you want
I ran 215/14 for years on mine and they came off of a friends original 6 which ran the same tires on stock fenders
