Anyone running these on their 914? I wanted 7's but it seems like it takes some magic to get them to fit in the rear, therefore I think I want to go the easy route of 6's albeit at a higher cost probably.

Thanks
Phillip
ps I will break out of the newbie stage soon enough.

The rotors are stock 4 cylinder versions that were drilled and studs were installed.

Rob (Cone Dodger) is correct about the tire size on my car, but next time I would put 205-55/16's on and there would be only a 2% error on the speedo.

Edit: now that I think about it, these are 7's with 205/45's. Sorry. Did have to stretch the rear fenders a bit.

Here are some 16x6 Boxter wheels F/R on my DD with 195/50/16 Khumo Ecsta's courtesy of Porsche Rescue, got my monies worth out of these Jim! Just received, after a considerable wait time, some Harvey Weideman reconditioned 16x6 Fuchs in the boxes, finished like 15's. Going on soon.

These wheels/tires for sale, $500.

Those things look very nice and the car looks great as well.
I decided on 6's, have a pair in the garage now just need to find two more.

Did you need spacers w/ the Boxter 6" wheels?

16x6 Boxster wheel offset is 50mm, not the same 6" fuchs (36mm). IMO ~35mm is the best offset for getting wheels centered on the rear, you could use about a half-inch spacer.

I once test-fitted 6x15 phone dial (52mm) and it rubbed on the inside.

You may be right, but they fit perfectly, no spacers, no rub, no fender mods.
Easy-smeezy.

195/50 are not very wide. I think the random tire I had was 205/60 (stockish diameter).
