What is the rim width on these wheels? Or did they come in various widths?
Thanks (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif) |

They where all 5inch as far as I know. Be careful. They have the VW offset not the 914 offset. Very difficult to get anything wider than a 195 on them and not have them rub (I'm sure somebody has done it..)

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/blink.gif) all 4 fenders must be rolled,. 205's (azenis rt215) are about max. They are 5½ in.

Thanks Guys.
The car already has them on it and has 205 Michelins on it. 1974 2.0L with minor surface rust in a few readily accessable spots on the fenders. Guy has owned it since 1976. A real virgin...no factory sway bars, no accidents, blah blah blah. Body is extremely straight, gaps look good. everything is there and works. SSIs, Bursch, Corbeau race seats, 5 point belts, harness bar, momo wheel console, fogs, includes all the original stuff like seats etc... Just needs a little TLC. Battery tray is clean, no rust in rear trunk Will have a PPI done a Sportech this week to check it out more completely and have the compression checked out. this might be the one The best part...he says he will take $2K since he no longer drives or needs the car.

Good for you!
I scored my '74 2.0 for $2200 a year and a half ago. I think the days of cheap/free 914's are coming to an end. This car is going to be a track car right? KT |

Yesssss!!!
Will probably run in GGR Class BI or BP depending on how I finally set it up. since it is a virgin with suspension...I will see what I can come up with. This will be my 3rd 4 banger 914 and I want to try some different things. I may go to BP even though the motor will be stock.... I want to use big gun drilled front torsion bars, large front sway, Konis etc., 180# rears, with threaded shock body. And then get it corner balanced, and as low as possible, with max neg camber. Looking forward to a light AX car again. |
