A good friend of mine purchased new BBS wheels for his 996 and gave me his turbo twist 18's for my 914 6 GT project. The offsets seem quite large (rear measures 8 1/2" from hub face to interior face of rim) and i don't know if they will fit under the steel flares (not installed yet) even with big spacers.

It seems as if I remember an article a few years ago regarding a silver conversion done by GPR where they put these wheels on a flared car. I think I'd like to use these for street wheels until I fine the right size fuchs to put on the car. Any body have any experience with these wheels on a 914?

Any ideas or experience would be helpful!
