Any opinions, or experience with 18" wheels on street/track 914? Trailing arms reinforced, but thats all.
I am running 17's now. If the Boxster needed changes to run 18's, can a 914 dare? I want to. |

My dad says Im not allowed to. he says that it will just cause big problems, and the force given on the suspension (let alone the wheels) on a car with such stiff suspension (like any 914 deserving 18's..) will be bad...
but my cause is cus I want to run 18x11's on the back.... lol I think 17s on the front and 18's on the back would be ok, because the front end takes all the bangs... andrew |
