Ok...I've got the silver 914 with the boxster rims. For a short time (so I could drive it some)...I put the 6" wheels in the back and the 7" wheels in the front (I'm running 205 50 16"'s. Backspacing worked great this way. This weekend I went to work on getting the 6" rims in the front and the 7" rims in the back. Rears fit perfect and the fronts, as expected..sit in some. I put some 7mm spacers on the front to pull them out alittle. Now I only get 6 full turns on the lug nuts from first thread catch to full torque down at 97 ft/lbs. Is this too few turns to be safe?
My alternatives are...add longer wheel studs or get two 7" rims to match the rears (7X16" boxster rears with the 40mm offset fit perfect front and rear). I do have a line on 2 7" rims so that isn't a problem. Thoughts? |
