I would like to go with Minilites for the front and rear of my 914-6 GT project. I am considering the Mag style with 7X15 fronts and 8X15 rears. I would like to pair these with the Michelin TB15 tires. The sizes would be 18/60R15 (215/55-15) front and 23/62R15 (270/45-15) rears.
Anyone have experience with this combination on a GT clone? Will I require spacers on either the front or rear? |

Unless you change the ratios in the gearbox, you are going to be spinning the engine really fast on the highway. |
