I need to see as many pictures as I can of 9 & 10" rear rims on 914's that do not have the standard 916 flare. Rear view.
I have a narrow body that I want to use 9/10" rims, I want to alter the fender as little as possible. My biggest concern is how much wheel protrudes at front & rear rocker panel. Thanks |

I know there were some guys that fabricated, or modified their fenders for these size rims, with out using the "bumps".
They are who I am hoping to hear from, with photos. |

Thanks Retrotech for posting this ad. As you might know, I also have a keen interest in how to go about this. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) So far the pie slice method seems to be an OK way IMHO. (in my humble opinion). I'm a hack fiberglasser and am fantasizing about bending an outer lip, out of tubing, and welding it to the existing fenders. Then cutting out what fender material I don't want, then bonding the glass from the fender to my tubular lip. Pulling the glass taught from the outer parts of the fender so as to have an linear flare. Starting from right behind the door jambs straight to the new lip. Not 4 humps sticking out. More like abc914's rear fenders. Or is he 914ABC? I forget.... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/huh.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) This should be a great thread....

a 205 on a 6" barely fits.
a 205 on a 7" requires minimal persuasion to fender. a 225 on a 7" requires a good inch or 2 of pulled fender a 225 on an 8" requires flared qrts, and more rolling (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) (mad at my flares right now) every inch beyond a 6" is added all outboard. you want a 9" wheel and tire.... say 3+ inched out, and continue the flare at least 3 inches above the lip |

unless you have 35mm offset rims like Mike (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) stock fenders with enough breathing room between fenders and tires.....a 225 would rub with my rims.... other than that, good descriptions Aaron (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/clap.gif) |
