Hello, needing a compact spare for my 914 six with flares. Currently, I’m running 15 inch wheels but I think in a pinch this could work. I think my rears are 225/ 60 17. Front 195 65 15 Pirelli cn36.
See pictures for rim and Tire six. To get me out of the boonies and back to civilization do you think this wheel would work? Very reasonably priced under 100 bucks and basically new.   |

I also run 7 x 15 fronts with spacer and 8 x 15 rear. With a 15 space saver just in case.

Why do you have a 356 fuel tank in your 914?????? Hi Clay, 30 years ago when some of the work on my old 74 914 I was planing on a fuel cell and do more track time. Six years ago when the 914 came out of a 29 year nap the fuel cell.....full racing was out. So, you can see the extended cage to the suspension points and the forward placement of a gas tank was needed....356. Best, Mark |
