I'm swaping over to five lug mcallipers front and Eric S Shea drilled rotors back and install my FG GT flares. To get the biggest meats in my wells, what would be the best rim width, tire size and perfect backspacing? Can I do this without shims? Look at the link bellow for more info. THNX

I just took some 15X7" custom wheels off a stock bodied 914. The tires were 205/50/15. The back spacing was 5 1/2" with no evidence of rubbing on anywhere. Camber setting are also important. I don't think this car was "set up" at all. Oh the rims are for sale.

I wouldn't have thought it to work, but all 914's are different... How much for the wheels? -Josh2 |
