I've only had these rims for about a year I think....I bought them with hopes of putting them on my car for last years WCC....no dice, no running car...

the reason for the spacer is to move the wheels further out on the front since the 914 has about a 2" narrower track in the front than the rear....

when time permits, I'll machine a few pockets into the spacers to remove some weight off of them..

tires are 205/40/17s....hope the ride is not going to be too harsh....

GOOD LUCK MIKE... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) .......Same size as I have on my car...205x40-17 front.....225x45-17 rear......rides rougher than chit (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) .Wheels are 71/2 wide. Guy here local is testing the waters for dropped spindles for Type III. If he could get enough interest he might be persuaded to make some for youse guys......Airkewld.com.....Dad (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif)

I'm saving up for some Koni Yellows, those should help on the ride....Mike Rose is running 195/50-15's on his 914 and with the Konis set at full soft, the ride is quite nice....I'm running stock swaybars right now so that'll help keep the ride somewhat bearable....

Also, I'll be running the needle bearings on the suspension, that makes a huge difference since I won't be fighting the stiff, hard rubber bushings......
