i have a nice 914 with flairs , 916 look. it has 4 lug with a 5 lug adapter that spaces the rims out about 1 inch. could accually go more than 1 inch out though, i am going to put new tailing arms and 911 front struts and hubs, and change the 4 lug to a real 5 lug. of course this will move the wheels back in about one inch. what is the best and most cost efficient way to get the wheels back out to fill the wheel well properly. more spacers or wider wheels? if wider wheels work which ones wil do it?

I think I have a set in the garage... I picked them up the other day and out of curiosity measured them. I think they were 1.25" Contact me if you are interested. I got them for $50 at a swap meet. I actually need 28mm for my 911... Rob |
