I ADDED A PHOTO OF MY "NEW" CAR. SCROLL DOWN ABOUT 15 POSTS...
After 4 years of searching I just bought a 914-6 with a 3.2 and flares! The car is in route from California to SC, should have it in a few days! I can't wait. My first car (1981) was a 1971 1.7, then a 2.0, have always wanted a -6 The car is going to need tires soon, it has 15x7 and 15x8 rims. The suspension is very stiff and the frame is stiffened (with dog ear stiffeners). I'll use it for AX, PCA events, running around town, AND JUST HAVING FUN. I was hoping to get new 285's to replace the 285's on the rear but nobody makes them anymore. What do you guys recommend for tire type and size for this car??? Thanks for your help!!! |

On a Chevy, with a 17" rim that is 8.5" wide, the maximum recommended is a 275, although people were running 285's on a regular basis. Not sure if you can get away with the width though because of the rim being a smaller height therefore more sidewall though, so you can curve it in though.
I have 225's on mine, not sure of the rim width, I run like 20 PSI in my tires and have fun with it on the street. I don't take it to the track though. |
