I recently installed these wheels along with the stud kit to use the wheels. Drove it around to settle the suspension back down. I've read in older forum posts regarding clearance between driver and passenger side rear and vice versa. My passenger side rear had more clearance between the fender and tire, the driver side rear maybe has 1.5-2.0mm of clearance. I know I need to do an alignment on the car, but I think my factory coil springs have given up the ghost. So I ordered a set from 914Rubber. Do you think the springs may fix my issue or alignment? Tires on the Minilites are 205/55R15 currently.

Can't say about 205 width tires but I'm running 195/65-15 tires on my lowered 914 with 6.5x15 Minilite wheels with not fitment issue.

Is the offset on your minilites the same as mine? +33? I will most likely end up going back to 195/65R15 tires that I have on the set of 2.0L Fuchs wheels which I had on before purchasing the Minilites recently. The tires on the Fuchs need to be replaced anyways as they are 11 years old at this point haha. |

I cannot tell you the actual offset of my Minilite wheels but I have assumed that all 6.5x15 four lug Minilite wheels for the 914 specific 4x130 bolt pattern were the same. Mark |
