I'm getting close to choosing a wheel tire combo on my 74 914. The car will be lowered slightly and is stock width. Came with Fuchs knock offs which isn't really my favorite wheel. I do like Mahle, but not really easy to find. I should mention I am staying 4X130 so choices are limited. I also like Minilites but they would have to be ordered. The problem is some people say they won't fit as the largest offset is ET20. I am looking at a 15x 5.5 with an ET20, I think Fuchs or Mahle have an offset of ET40 so a difference of 20mm, will it work? Thoughts? Any minilite people out there with pictures? Most cars I see have flared fenders so no real help to me. Would a 15x 6 work also?

these days there are several choices including custom fit 7 inch fuchs four bolt. Mahle fuchs pedrini in factory used original and fuchs 5.5 and seven inch in repro, the so called riviera and empi 5.5 four bolt wheels have an outset so will not fit the widest tire without rubbing in the back
