Hi Jared, the 205x50x15's on my rivs scraped, even after rollling the fenders. I wouldn't go any wider than 195s. However, each car is a little different, so 205s might work on yours. YMMV, Mark

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't there a couple different widths and offsets on the Riv's? I remember reading that on the Rennlist a while back. Some are more 914-friendly than others.

the PO of my car had 205/50's on Riv's. the fender lips were rolled and there was no rubbing at all. HOWEVER, 205 is too wide a tire for these wheels -- your sidewalls will be too cupped. this is both a little dangerous and can actually adversely affect performance. so i'd stick with 195's were i you.
i run 195/50's. the extra torque is nice, but if you do any highway driving i'd go for 195/55 or 195/60's -- keep the RPM's at a reasonable rate while at speed. have fun! |

If I remember correctly, there are 3 or 4 different types of Riv's (Can't find the wheel post that has the pics).
i have 195/60's on the 72 and they work ok |

There was a previous post...something like "need wheel pictures" that discussed this. I think it said there was about 3 or 4 different Riv's that have been identified and each has a different offset. I looked for the post, but couldn't find it to check the info.
