This is the next big question I have to submit to the 914world.com, non club, brain trust. =-)
I have two 225/50/15's for the front. 8.5" wide. +/- I have two 285/40/15's for the rear. 10.5" wide. +/- The fronts fit fine with no spacers. The rear backspacing is OK but the fenders will need modification. The big question is do i mod the stock fenders out 2"s and no wheel spacers or install the sheridan flares and space the wheels out to meet the FG fenders???????? I'm wondering if anyone has experienced noteable handling gains by going wider on the rear??? Inquiring minds want to know. Roger |

road course car, ran spacers and 9in rims on the back. larger tires and all the good stuff.
I then put 225's all around on 8's. small spacers up front.. No noticeable loss of speed. Good turn in, didn't loose the ass end. Low seat time on this but I was happy. More track up front and penty of rubber up front!!! Autox, I suck so ask someone else but I would image understeer could be an issue. |
