Thinking but most VW wheels have the wrong backset for 914s. Do U know the backset? Have U seen these on a 914? Thanks.

I ran them on my car for years. I had 195/60 on front and 205/60 on rear with no backspacing issues. There is plenty of clearance for the centering ring on front.

Looked at these today and they're nice wheels. They're not what I'm looking for so there still open to buy.

Unreal great price for very good VW wheels, but you could really do much better on a VW site as was mentioned earlier.
