That's right! It's all your fault! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/finger.gif) Anyone posting pics of their 5-lug converted 914 sporting polished Fuchs/Phone dials/Cookie Cutters/Boxster wheels....you're all guilty! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ar15.gif)

Well now my 16" BBS's (you're fault again (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) ) will fit! And as an added bonus, I get the pleasure of rebuilding yet another set of calipers (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif) .....but this time "M". (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wub.gif)

Okay.....I feel better. Now a question:

Assuming that the 911 (in this case a '70 911T, the entire front suspension is hiding in the box somewhere), and a 914 are "interchangable", are they interchangable enough for me to use bits of my freshly restored 914 suspension (stripped, POR'ed, all new bushings, bearings, torsion bars [21mm], ball-joints, strut inserts, etc...), or would it be wiser to just keep all of the 911 front-end components together (after a restoration (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/type.gif) [me ordering more ospho and POR]), and install the entire 911 suspension? It wouldn't be a total wash on all of the time, money and labor I've put into the '73's suspension, my '74 would love to have it, I'm just wanting to get it done in my lifetime (which will likely never happen if I keep checking out other people's "resto" threads (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif) ).
