Tires - 245/50R16 BFG G-Force Sports
Rear brakes - 911 vented Hubs - stock 914/4 drilled and studded for 5-bolt ok, so the flares are on the car but not painted yet. Time to fit the wheels and tires that I just got mounted and balanced. They clear, but this is way too close for comfort. I've got maybe 2-3 mm. I could cut the flange down like the narrow body cars (that would get me another 10mm) but though I should ask first. Are the rest of you fat rear tire folks with factory rear flares in the same boat? As the suspension compresses, the tire moves inward. I'd just like a little more margin for error.  |
