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.

I have a few sets of 21 mm spacers and some thicker ones. I think they are 1-1/4. Why not bolt up the wheels and see how they fit ?
It would give you a starting point. The studs required vary with the amount of spacer used. The lenght needed is 45 mm plus the spacer thickness. |
