For a while I've been noticing that almost all hte 914s on this site have the 5-lug conversion. What is the reall advantage of having hte 5-lug done? Does it matter if its 4 or 5?
The only thing I can think of is that with the 5-lug you can get a wider tire underneath the fender (for flared cars) instead of spacing out the tire. Also the rims selection for factory rims is low for the 4 lug and all the newer P-cars have 5-lugs on them. Someone enlighten me and is it worth the $$$$ to get it done. For me, I want to restore the car that I have sometime but I want to get another one later and have it as a project car and make it look like a 914 GT, but a way better interior. |
