I am in the process of flaring the fenders on my 75 914. The back has been pushed out about 1.5" so far.
In the picture it has a 16X7 with a 1/2" spacer and 1/2" of tire hanging over the edge of the wheel. There is still a little room to spare. Anyone have any suggestions for wheels? I would really like to stick with 15" but I know that might not be possible. I think 15X8 fuchs would work great but I can't seem to find any for a near reasonable price. I really don't want to spend more than a grand on wheels... I also thought it might be interesting to go with stock wheels off of a late model 911 or boxter. Enough people get aftermarket wheels that the stock ones seem reasonably priced. Thoughts... --zach Attached image(s)

You may want to figure out what tire you want to run before you get all crazy about rims. If you go with Kumos, 225x15 is the widest you can get for a 15" rim and they recomend a 7" rim for that. 16" does not really expand your choices that much.
