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)

I run BIIG Spacers. Dad does too. 1.5" spacers up front and about 3.25" spacers in the back.
As JD said its technically not increasing scrub radius any more than large dish wheels. I run 17x8.5xET50 in the front and 18x10xET62 in the rear. I should probably change to a much smaller offset rear wheel (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Granted I run my wheels black which helps the 18" look better on the 914 body. Also Im not running GT flares, Im running Bontempi flares. Mine vs my dads. http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?act...t&id=703104 |
