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 |

Thanks for the replies, I figured to check if I had missed something. I have the feeling the seller just threw whatever the wheels he didn't want.
The funny part is he put the same width tire front to rear so it's over width on the rear and right sized for the front. I have to take we more measurements and pictures. Will probably try swapping wheel, just have to wait for spring to test drive . |
