No rubbing with ' glass flares. But 8" is close on the fronts when turning.

I ran 16x8&9's on the 914ST for a while. Tossed them because 225's in the front were just too much tire. Steering by "arm strong".
This is the 8 and 9 combo (not the 914ST I know, but the same rims I ran), I later tossed the 8's on the back and got new halfs for the 9's to make them 7's. I then stepped back to 205's in the front and 225's in the rear. Much, much better. Sometimes more tire isn't better, it's just more tire.
Thanks for the advice
This is the Deal - I bought a Pair of Rotas 17x9 Frosted (RSR Finish) and I'm going to run a 16 in the Front ( RSR Finish)
I have 2 Pair of 16x7 ( One that needs Finishing) and one Pair that the finish that matches the 16x8s (Gloss Black) in the Rear right now with Spacers.
I was debating which to run in the front, thinking the 8's would be better, but I'm going to upgrade the front suspension (Poly Bronze Bushings, 911 Turbo A-Arms, UnderBody Bar/Aluminum CrossBean) and I think that now the 16x7s in the Front would be better.
That way I would have 2 Complete sets of wheels for the car ( at Least
)
