So it is time to break down and by new tires for my 914. The ones I have don't have but 3k miles on them but are upwards of 10 years old. I am headed to the RT66 Fun Run in Seligman AZ and don't want a blow out. Here is where I am running into an issue. I have a set of BRM Replicas on it right now that look great but have a VW offset and the driver's rear tire is extremely close. This is also compounded by accident damage done to the car many many years and owners ago. When I got the BRMs it took me 3 different tires and pulling the fender out 3/4 of an inch to get the Bridgestone Eagers to fit. I love the Eagers but are not made any more.
Here is my question. I have been looking at the Empi GasBurners and was wondering how many people have used them? I know AA sells them and say you can get a 205 under the fender but I am always skeptical of these things. Please let me know if you or some one has bought these wheels and how the fit. Would really love a set of Perdinis but they seem to be very hard to find. Thanks in advance for your help. |
