Are you talking about the Cookie Cutter wheels (5-lug), or some other type? I do not recall the offset on cookies but many folks including me have used them successfully. I used 205/45 Kumho V-somethings as I recall, probably V700 Victoracers. It's been a while.

205 50 15 is pretty much the limit. Hoosiers in that size will not work. Your rear fenders could need rolling.

Nope no cookie cutters.

Here a pic that I have found online:

one more. I'm playing with the thought to have them painted fake mag/gold:

those are probably not 7" wide - 5.5" i think.

I'm running 16x7 late offset dials if that helps. 205/50 with 1 1/4 spacer. It's mighty close in the rear on a narrow body.

I run 205x15 on 6" width and thet barely clear

Its interesting , but 6 inch wheels fit worse than 7 inch wheels with 205/50's
The 7 inch wheels allow the sidewall to be more vertical.
The rubbin gon the rear can be cured with a little rolling of the lower fender lip.
The front wheels will rub on full lock on the inside...but spacers can cure that.

Bryon,

What size tires are those on the green car?

Just for clarification, I have 7x15 ET30, it's stamped on the rim.

Thanks,

That car has 205/50/15 Hoosiers on all 4. The fenders are pulled and rolled. The car is slightly modified wink.gif

These are very cool wheels. Surprsingly lightweight.

They are nice looking wheels.

i have 5 of these 7''rs sitting in my shed, that were on my 914/6 when I first bought it back in the 90's.

A 914 has to have flares, and 5 lugs to make these work.

205-50 is all you can fit on a narrow body, the rear lips need to be rolled a tiny bit... 944 front 8x16 fuchs work great on the front but nothing bigger than 7 can be used on the rear for a narrow body 914.
