I came across a company in California that sells 7” wide steel wheels in 4 x 130. What is the correct offset/backspace for a narrow body 914? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Kevin I see 4.75”-5.00” is the correct backspace with a 7” or 8” rim. Is 35mm the correct offset? |

Offset for the rear depends on
1. if the fenders have been rolled 2. camber near stock or increased for AutoX handling 3. actual measured width of the tire (a 205 is rarely actually 205) A 15x7 et23 will fit easily with a little extra camber Stock is 15x5.5 et40 With too much offset you can add a spacer. That website makes it alot easier to calculate. |
