18X8.5 245/40/18's and 18X10 275/40/18 Continental extremecontact with 2.5" and 3" spacers. Kinda ridiculous I know and it certainly doesn't help the unsprung weight but oh well it's got a V8 to turn em and surprisingly the 901 is holding up to all that grip...poor little ring and pinion...

Just added another of the GT with 17" Fuchs for those interested in what it looks like from the side:

Yep, that's where I got them, but, me personally, would never buy again from that source.. I'm sure there's more people offering these.

In my opinion these are the nicest repro fuchs out there. They are forged.

I think 17 inch wheels look great. Perfect size for 914's.

Just by glancing at those wheels I can tell they aren't real whic is obvious by the brand name. Why roll on fake 17's"? I don't see much of an advantage except tire choices with installing a set of 17" instead of 16" and the price on the rota site is more than an original set of alloys. Big baller wheels is another story....Kinesis....Ruf....Fikse.....3 piece forged Porshce wheels and a few other would be on my list before fake 17"s......

What brand rims are those on the Black Car? that's the stock 4 lug hubs?

Great looking cars! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

FWIW, I squeezed 18x8.5's and 18x10's under "stock" glass flares. Not much wiggle room on the rear, especially if you want to run major negative camber. There were no clearance issues up front. I'm running almost 2" of spacers in the rear, and 30mm up front....

18x10 & 18x8 993TT wheels with 245/35/18 & 295/30/18 Michelin Pilot Sport II Ribs. I later put 996TT wheels on (1" wider in the rear)
