I love the look of the 911 5 lug fuch's, I want to know if it's as easy as just changing out the rotors and buying some 5 lug fuch's.
What would be the preferred rim and tire size of the 5 lug fuch's and what exactly is involved with this conversion. I have owned my 914 for exactly 5 days and am very excited to know everything there is to get to know. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) It is really simple actually, but can cost some money. You can get the entire front suspension..EVERTHING: A-arms, crossmember, struts...etc...etc... Just unbolt the old and bolt up the 911 suspension. The rear is a little more complicated. You have to buy new 914-6 rotors, and 914-6 rear calipers, or 914-4 front calipers (loose the e-brake) . You also need the 914-6 hub. Eric Shea sells them in the resources forum. While you are in there (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chairfall.gif) (just kidding....) You probably should go ahead and get new shocks all around, and new rear springs. The wheels cant be any bigger than 6"....there is also a 5.5" 911 fuchs wheel. The usual diameter is 15" but the stock 914-6's used 14" rims.
