I understand that these are not to everyone's taste, but please set that aside -
Wondering if anyone has run these or if the offsets are just too much for the typical GT flared car... A quick search came up with little info and no photos on a 914 - These also come in 11" rears which is too wide currently for my car - Thanks - Attached image(s) |

You are going to need some seriously long wheel studs and lots of spacers to make these work.
The offset is all wrong for a 914, the mounting surface of those wheels is on the outside and most of the barrel goes towards the inside, there's no way those will bolt up and not hit the inner wheel well without some serious spacer magick. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) PS: Not even sure anyone makes wheels studs long enough to make those work. |
