Trying to wrap my head around what size spacers (range) I should be looking for to utilize stock 99 Boxster wheels on a "standard" flared 914.
Fronts are 17X7 ET 55 Rears are 17X8.5 ET 50 Any suggestions? |

@Chris914n6
Before I saw your pic of a 9 on stock (modified but stock non the less) I would have bet BIG money that there was ZERO chance of a 255 going under. I'd have been WRONG! Now, you don't have room for a virus... Have you swung that without the spring? I'm still not sure it would work but WOW! It's on the car. Thank you so much for taking the time to try that out and posting pics! My comment on "skinny springs" shows my Japanese experience. Skinny springs usually means more clearance to the inside. The 914 runs the complete assembly in a closed box... Silly Ninja! Right now, it's looking like 1"+ on front and 1.5" on rear is a good starting spot for Boxster wheels. Now, all of you have spent time helping me, should any of you need assistance on modern shit hit me up. I can usually help! That offer is Worldwide, any make, not just Porsche stuff. Thank you all once again! |
