This was done by a gentlemen in Finland and posted here a couple of months ago. I find myself in a bit of a pickle as I read here that many guys had used the 944 Fuchs front the front (7" because 8" were on the back of 944's)) and had them on standard 914 (5 lugs of course) with no rub issues. So I bought them, restored them and mounted some pilot's (205/55/ZR16)'s to be exact. Ok, dumb me...I admit. Well, on the rear, I'm about 1" off and no-where to go and this solution looks awesome. Was wondering if there was any mods to the axles as well (I'm running turbo axles and CV's) as this is a renegade. ANYONE done this here in the states? Anyone capable or would want to take this on? Welding for me is marginal at best and to keep it aligned right has me worried. Thinking a machine shop (a professional) would be the best.
