I wondered if anyone has tried to run 17" turbo twwist wheels on their 914. The tires that came on the wheels are 205/50/17 fronts, and 255/40/17 rears. Wanting to go less "chunky" on the size, I was advised to go to a 195/40 front, and a 245/35 rear. Also, it looks like I need approx. a 20mm spacer for the rear, and about 13.5mm front. Any help is appreciated. Confused.

Boxter twists or turbo 911 twists (18's)?
I use the 9" rear boxster twists on the front of my car. and the 911 turbo rears on the rear.. We need to see what flares you have before any suggestions are really made... I have 1.5" of spacers up front and 3" of spacers in the rear.. But I have some decently wide flares. |
