Does anyone know what size tires were used on a factory 914-6 GT with square 8"s
I do recall a thread a few weeks ago that had all of the wheel combos but i can't find it now (I did search). I'm also not sure if it had the tire sizes. Thanks' Jon |

Not a factory size. You can use what you want. Tires in the early 70's had the equivalent of very tall sidewalls

I don't think there were any Square Fuchs - they were all Round!

Sorry, they are also 15" rims. I'm sure I saw in the aforementioned thread that some of the cars had square 8". It was a scan of some factory literature with all the combos. But I could be mistaken. I usually am.....according to my wife (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

The real race gt's used a big rim on the back in the end of their racing career in the us. Look up the Meanie car. They were not Fuchs though. I don't think a fuch 8 existed at the time. I also don't think those cars had a square set up. Plus the wheel addition wasn't done by the factory. 7's and 8's I believe on the meanie car.
And slick race tires. Likely good years. So no factory size or street tire size used by factory gt's. |
