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.

Boxster twists (17 X 7 et 55) with 205's all around. rolled lips, not pulled. 1/2" spacer in rear and about 7/8" spacer in the front (I machined down a set of 1 inch). I would think the 205's on the front would be just fine, especially if you have flairs. I have 255's on my 928 (running the twists also like you have) and I think if you went narrower it would look funny on the rim.
