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)

Plus, when you run spacers, you change the front tire's scrub geometry which makes for heavier steering feel. Spacers that would work with those wheels would likely create seriously heavy steering.

QUOTE(tygaboy @ Aug 15 2019, 09:00 AM)  Plus, when you run spacers, you change the front tire's scrub geometry which makes for heavier steering feel. Spacers that would work with those wheels would likely create seriously heavy steering. I think Chris is right. I've been trying to find affordable zero offset rims that I can afford for a year now. Mine does have heavy steering, however, with recent suspension changes it it a lot better. I'm about to update my thread with my latest wheel info but here it is. I now have 2 sets of 2003 turbo wheels. 18x8 with 50et and 18x11 45et. I need to remeasure my spacers, but they are about 2" rear and 2.5" front. Note: My fenders are Sheridan and are setup for 10" all around. I can run as large as 11s in front. In fact i was running 11s all around at WCR. But I am going with recommendations to use a staggered setup on the track. I haven't had any pushing issues yet with 8s on the front. |
