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. |

The standard 4 lug 2.0 Fuchs are 15x5.5 with a 40mm offset.
On my 914 I am running 15x7's with 205/55's with a 23mm offset. They fit perfectly on the fronts however the rear fenders needed to be pulled out some, this is fairly common our cars. |
