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. |

I’m helping a friend with installing 5.5 x 15 steel wheels, he has a set of BMW calipers and when we mounted the wheels and the calipers scrapped the wheel. I measured 110 mm from the rim to the mount whereas the 2.0L Fuchs measured 120mm, so adding a spacer in front should be good.
Rear looks really close with 195’s, the tires he got have raised letters too. |
