The restoration of my 914-6 is moving along well. The car has steel flared fenders and a set of Fuchs 6x15 will be installed, but I believe I need some spacers to move the wheels outward a bit.
I believe M471 cars used 6x15" wheels and 21mm spacers, am I correct? I also need longer wheel studs, what is adequate for a 21mm spacer, a 70mm stud? Thanks Henry    |

@HDC
I have the spacers and maybe the studs. But why flare and only go 6"? Those will git without flares. |

More rolling resistance. More expensive tires. Not a stock size, or won't fit a stock wheel. Maybe harder to find. There are lots of reasons. Zach |
