From Jbugs.....they will make them for ya....
Hello Mike, I just spoke to out manufacturer and they can make both the 15 X 6 and 15 X 7 wheels with the 4.75” backspacing. The wheels won’t be listed online but they are now in our system. The part numbers are 914-WH-15X6 and 914-WH-15X7. The wheels cost $124.95 each. They are VW chrome centers (slotted) with a chrome wheel. The wheels are not listed online so any orders would have to be called in. The wheels are, as the other deep dish wheels, a special order item. Production takes any where from a week and a half to sometimes 4 weeks. Let us know if you have any questions. Thank you, Sam Mebane California Pacific / JBugs |

good job Mikey....I think those 7's will fit, but you'll want to run nothing larger than a 205...

Thanks so much guys!!!
Now do you think the 7" x 4.75 back spacing with a 205 wheel will fit in the front without having full lock issues? |

Oops,
Sorry, I've been away from the computer (REALLY busy at work!). The wheels are just like the ones that MikeT posted the photo of, only (as mentioned by Trekkor) they are 7" with 5" backspacing. I didn't have the work done. I bought them many moons ago for a set of track wheels to go with my first 914. I never did end up using them so they just collect dust in the shed. Lemme know.

nocones,
Those are the style I already have and do not use hub caps so I will have to pass. What I wanted to accomplish is have a retro look (early 70 car) with a better performing tire size. Hopefully someone else will grab them up. |

Just so everyone is clear.
Wheel measurements are taken from bead seat to bead seat, not edge to edge. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) A 5 1/2"-6" rim can measure 7" if the tape is put in the wrong place. The guys at the tire shops have those big adjustable calipers. If those steelies are 7", I want them. KT |

I bought them with the Autopower roll cage.. thanks again mike.
The backspace is actually 5.25" compared to the 4.875" on my other 7" steelies. This 3/8" improvement may allow the use of 225's. KT |
