Hello,
I am trying to find tires that will fit under stock 914 fenders on a set of 5 lug 5.5 x 14 inch Fuchs wheels that are VR in performance?
Thanks in advance,
Mike

Thanks for the replies but I am looking for specific sizes and manufacturers, the 14 inch Fuchs have an offset of 41 mm I believe, I would like to hear from someone who has experience with this setup.

I ran 205/60/14 Yokohama AVS ES100 on my car for a while. The tires were OK but not tall enough and the revs were higher due to the height of the tire. I would not go this route again both for the speedometer being off too much and the tires not as grippy as I would have liked them. The car was slightly peppier out from a stop due to height of the tire again. Not bad for autocross but not for regular driving as everything gets hotter when freeway cruising.

I have since went to 16" Fuchs with 205/55/16 Toyo Proxes R1R and love them. My speedometer is accurate as well.

Thanks for the info Michael, I thought I read some where that the 16x6's fit on a 914.

I understand that performance tire selection for the 16's is far better than with the 14's.
At this point I am trying to work with what I have.
Thanks,
Mike

ps:You have a really sweet ride!

Anybody else using 14 in Fuchs on a 914?
