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? |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) that is how it was done back in the day. You can stuff 7s in, old school guys used Chevy barrels and 914/vw centers.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Mark, I thought I was the only one that would weld a tractor rim. I had no choice my old Fiat 640 (white 2-60) FWD tractor the front rims were shot, and you couldn't buy new, as they didn't make a lot of 4x4 in that model. Hardest or I should say most time intensive job was grinding out the old welds. The old centers fit the new barrels perfect and I just lined it up with a straight edge and a combination square. With a car rim I likely would have set up more accurate measuring with a dial indicator, but that said at top gear (25+mph?) they run perfectly true. |
