Hello, I recently purchased a 74 2.0 914, and it has the 15" empi rims. The tires are old so i will be replacing them. Should i replace them with 195's in the front and 205's in the back, or should i go 195's all around?
Also, the PO did an engine oil change right before i got the car, and he put *i think* 20W50 synthetic in it. (I'll confirm later on). Is this weight/composition bad for the motor, or can i live with it? I will only be driving it during the spring/summer. Thanks a bunch, Brent |
