As the title and description states ... I would like to understand the specs I need to be mindful of when shopping for wheel replacements on my '73 2.0 stock 914. I know my stock Fuchs (which I will keep) are 15x5.5 and have a 4x130 bolt pattern.
But what is the offset range I need to stay within or wheels? And can I go wider than 5.5? Like 6 or 7? Many thanks in advance. I did try to search the site for these answers, but I could not find a clear answer. |

Stock 15x5.5 et40 fit perfect. 15x7 et23 (911/944) usually need fender rolling in the rear. A 15x6 is et36 so it fits nicely. The VW bug is et25 or so, so they only fit with skinny tires thus are not a good choice.
These 2 sites will help you sort it out. https://www.willtheyfit.com/ https://tiresize.com/wheel-offset-calculator/ |
