I'm doing my 5 lug conversion. A buddy gave me a set of 16 x 6 Fuchs. (please don't hate me...) I also have a set of 205 front/215 rear tires. Before mounting them, does anyone know if the 215s will fit under stock rear fenders?

Unfortunately, all 914s are slightly different. What works on one may very well not work on another. And 215s on any wheels are iffy at best, unless you're OK with pulling the fender out a bit.
Even for 205s, the fender lip usually has to be folded under or cut off. --DD |
