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.

If you put 185/80, that might actually begin to be to large of a tire (diameter). 185/65 is probably a good size if you are going with 185.
You can do a search here or on Google with 914world at the end and you should have many discussions on the tire topic. Good luck! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
