Brett - Yes. Mine are modified/custom. Also, the Hoosier R7 have squared sidewalls that cause some folks issues (as opposed to the R6). Just another thing to consider if you're cutting it close.
T Cracker, Your flares look different than mine, looks like the lip has been pushed out. I have stock (un-modified) GT flares and the 275 just will not fit. I would be interested in hearing what is different about yours. I need to get the tires to fit. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

I love my Fikse 17" rims too. Some 17" rims don't look right, but IMHO the Fikse's look great. |

Are you sure you want big heavy wheels that don't look right on a 914? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) Um, yeah. Different strokes for different folks, I guess. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) These wheels are not heavy. |

i do luv my 15 x8 x9 that is 245/50 x 15 re71's (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Vintage Cool! Ya, 17's are a better performance choice. But I don't track the Alien. And when I did it was pretty much throttle steering anyway. |

They do look good but tire selection in the 15 and 16 is horrible. I'd rather run a 17 with a wide selection of high performance street tires than have 15's or 16's and be stuck with competition only tires. Look where I live. All competition tires and most ultra performance street tires can't even be stored in a freezing environment. That leaves my garage out.
In my mind, the tire is what's important. The rim is just a means to an end. It's a bonus if I like the look. Thankfully, I just so happen to really like the RSR finish Fuchs. |

with 9 in wide rims I believe the offset should be right around a et15.. and will fit with 255/40's.. inner lip might need some adjustment at worst..

Euromeister 16x9 15mm ET, AA steel flares. 245-50x16 had to trim the lip on the flare for clearance.
