I was taking a break from the fiberglass repair and noticed on my car that the tires sit different front to rear. then I was surprised that the fronts are 9in and rears are 8in wide rims... then the final surprise was that the offsets were significantly different.
My car is a 5 bolt conversion 73 914-4 of unknown origin with wide body fenders. Please explain the general convention on this. Thanks |
