I know a lot of you at this site either race or autocross and may be able to give me some insight into my predicament.
I'm replacing some very old Yoko 008SII rubber on my 914. They are mounted on 7" & 8" 16 inch Fuchs. The front tires are 225/50s and the rear are 245/45. Using Tire Racks cross section specs of the tire width, the Hoosiers are basically the same size as the Yokos in the rear, but the 225/50s for the front appear to be about 1/2" wider. My only option would be going to 16" 215/40s which provides a narrower cross section width, but is nearly 2 inches smaller in diameter (a difference that I would think undesirable). I know that fender clearance varies from one 914 to another, but I am curious if anyone else is running 225/50 Hoosiers up front on a narrow bodied 914? Help!! AX season is almost here! Many thanks.
