I ADDED A PHOTO OF MY "NEW" CAR. SCROLL DOWN ABOUT 15 POSTS...
After 4 years of searching I just bought a 914-6 with a 3.2 and flares! The car is in route from California to SC, should have it in a few days! I can't wait. My first car (1981) was a 1971 1.7, then a 2.0, have always wanted a -6 The car is going to need tires soon, it has 15x7 and 15x8 rims. The suspension is very stiff and the frame is stiffened (with dog ear stiffeners). I'll use it for AX, PCA events, running around town, AND JUST HAVING FUN. I was hoping to get new 285's to replace the 285's on the rear but nobody makes them anymore. What do you guys recommend for tire type and size for this car??? Thanks for your help!!! |

So... Does this mean I can run 265/40/17's on a 8.5 in rim??
Or even a 275/40/17?? I could fill out the bontempi flares better with more tire... |
