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) |

   I have a friend that has a yellow turbo charged Meyers Manx that has run 10 second quarter mile times. He is running adapters going from VW wide 5 to porsche 5x 130mm. Been that way for 15 years. His buggy is scary fast and feels more like flying than driving. I'm pretty sure I'm safe in my 90 horsepower 914.Adapters never looked so good....IMO. I also have the option of going back to my 4 lug Fuchs when the mood strikes, Options are wonderful! |

HUGE differance between a 5 to 5 adapter and a 4 to 5 adapter...no comparison, don;t even go there (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) that being said, the cheesy 4 to 5 adapters do "work" just as long as you don;t have any plans to auto-x or track your car...they are not allowed by most organizations........... |
