Can anyone recommend a tire size for the stock 15" steel wheels? I would like to go as wide as possible, but not too tall. Car will be lowered. Additionally, is there any benefit to staggering the tires (smaller tires in front)? Sizes front vs. rear?

spacers are used by many racers....many newer Porsches come from the factory with spacers
the spacers that are not allowed are ones that change (alter) the bolt pattern. like a spacer that goes from 4 bolt to 5 bolt. I use spacers first of all for the rear inside wheel wells. I run so much negative camber that my tires rub the inside of the wheel well without them. In front I use them to push the wheels out to the same width as the rear. track width on the front of the 914 is about 1/2" narrower than the rear in stock form. |
