70-89. It just depends on your goals and budget.

70-89. It just depends on your goals and budget. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) It's a huge options list and the front and rear are two separate entities. |

Check out PMB’s website for good info. The options for 5 lug go from redrilling hubs to simply swapping out parts to mimic the 911 setup. Basically anything up to 1989 can be used somehow.

To get bigger brakes on the rear, you either need 914-6 calipers, about $1500-2k a pair or 911 M calipers, 911 ebrake and a five lug conversion. Bigger brakes on the front require 3” or 3 1/2” 911 front struts. |

Later struts with the 3 1/2" spacing afford you a bit wider front brake selection.
The stock rear 914 brakes are adequate. |

Boxster calipers but you need to deal with the e-brake conversion.
