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 |

I've seen 205's run on 6 and 7" wheels. 225's on 7 and 8" wheels and even 245's on an 8" wheel over the years.
Some of the limits you will have tire wise are based on any class rules you need to meet, desired gearing changes, as well as who makes 15" tires in sizes that will fit! Wheels are standard 911 and even early 944 fare. |
