> Has anybody fit 7R (911R) wheels to a 914?, The look of a stock 5.5" Fuchs, but with 225 rubber!

Does anyone know if these wheels will fit an unflared 914? Here's a pic for reference:

Real ones ar BIIIIIIG money, but you can have deep sixes and 5.5" wheels widened to the same width and offset. I have a set of deep sixes lying around and was consdiering having this done.

I've done it on one car, a real 6 (cost being a factor weighing heavily against a repeat performance) and we had to baseball bat the rear fenders. They fit fine with the tires you could get then (1984). He still has them on the car, and I'm sure the old Yoke A001s are gone. I dunno what size tires will work. The Cap'n
