Sorry

Well I guess all of them. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

Mainly the tires and wheels. Those 18x8 are gonna work on the front with no problems?

yeah I am in the middel of finalizing everything with the 914. I should have it in my possesion next weekend.

hmmm scrub radius.... yes, way different.

i'm not looking forward to close quarters tight turns.

JP, what's your experience here?


once again, i'm hoping that there are so many people that have widened their front width that it shouldn't be THAT bad. right? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)

the 1" spacers would have been fine but i wanted to give my fenders a little push out to match the rear width a little closer.

225s up front aren't too bad......workable.
It's better to suck the tiars in as close to the
struts as you can get em' tho.

IIRC - JP is going to smaller width wheels cuz he cant turn em without powersteering

yeah I am in the middel of finalizing everything with the 914. I should have it in my possesion next weekend.

with the 8X50mm offset of my rims, a 1" spacer is probably just right.

your ebay rims are a 57mm offset so you might not need a spacer.

i prefer my wheels to be right out almost touching the inner fenders.

it's easier IMHO to but spacers and stretch the fenders to get the clearances just right.

914 fenders are not identical on each side as you will quickly find out. =-)

et 57 will require a spacer no matter what.....

typical offsets are 23 (7" fuchs) 36's, etc.....

One would think, eh?
Frankly, there are only a few folks here that understand suspension set-ups (IMO).....I have just scratched the surface of the 914's......so I ain't one of them.

Throwing 10 inch wide wheels & tires up front taught me about scrub radius....and it weren't pretty.

Lengthening the A-arms to gain room for more negative wheel offset has been suggested. I'd give that more serious consideration were it not for the side load problems I'm experiencing on the struts at present. A greater angle on the strut would increase this problem......not to mention the tie rods would be too short... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)

I going with a narrower W/T set up....similar to Rodger's. KISS.

Well Yeah I am used to rolling fenders to get tires to fit (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

Definetly looks like you will have to to get that to work.

Since you have to paint your car it's not a big deal to roll it. I will try to use the same wheels and hopefully not have to roll anything. Car has new paint so I don't want to tweak it if I can help it.
