Wheels for flared fenders???, Wheels for flared fenders??? Options

[vwzach]

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...

Well...if your looking for late 911 or Boxster wheel you'll be going to 17 inches. If you do that I happen to have some for sale. Probably the best looking ones I have seen. If you are coming down for the Parts Heaven swap meet in Hayward I will be there with them for sale. Here is some info on them.

Front Wheels are Hartman Racing 2 piece road/street
wheels with the dimensions of:

8X17 with a 5.25 inch inner offset (133.35mm or 13.335cm)

Front Tires are Yokohama A032R with the size of

245/45/ZR17


Rear Wheels too are Hartman Racing 2 piece road/street wheels with the dimensions of:

9.5X17 with a 5.5 inch inner offset (139.7mm or 13.97cm)

Rear Tires are Yokohama A032R with the size of

P275/40/ZR17

All 4 wheels have center caps with inlaid Porsche Crest.

All 4 wheels also have chrome valve stem covers that also have the Porsche Crest.

Both the wheels and tires are new. While the wheels and tires have been on a car, the wheels and tires have had no weight on them and have never hit the ground. The tires still have the manufacture’s stickers on them.

You were looking to spemd $1K on wheels...and what about another $800 on tires. I will part with the whole set as in the pics for $2K.
