Howdy everyone.
I recently purchased an original 1974 914 2.0. My first Porsche was a 1970 914 back in 1974 and from then to now have had many Pcars. I've forgotten how fun these cars can be. Are tires in the 180 range(michelin) or 185 (Vred) to large ? The car now sits on 165/80/15 mounted to Fuchs and I want to fill in the wheel wells a little. Thanks in advance, I'm enjoying this site.

Many threads on tires here, and others will chime in with more knowledge. By Fuchs, I assume you mean the original 2.0 liter 4 lugs 914 Fuchs. These are 5.5" wide. 195s will work well, 205 should too, although these cars are known to be slightly different from side to side, so beware. On the front, the wider tires will rub on the inner fender at full lock. Obviously if you go short sidewalls, your speedometer will suffer. You will find out us 914ers are suckers for pictures (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) so... please share your new car with us!
