OK I'm a novice, I picked up a 70 914 with a lot of work needed. I also picked up what looks like Empi Interceptor 8 spoke 7x15 4 bolt wheels. There is no offset. The bolt plate is 4" from either end. Does anyone know what tire I can run with this setup? Currently there is stock springs (I think). But I may in the future put 140#ers on her. Your advice is appreciated.

hmm, i didn't even know they made them empi's in 7" wide ...




oh, and welcome to the club!

SirAndy, Don't know if this will post but here's a pic of the wheels.

You sure thre 7's? If you can, measure the inside to inside of the wheel lip...

If indeedy they are 7's.. 205's should be ok.. Maybe need to roll the fenders a tad..

are those bug wheels?

I watched a local parade on TV this morning and saw a VW Bug convertible with wheels that looked exactly like that. IANAE, tho.

They measure eight inches across but are marked inside 7x15. I think they are Bug wheels but on the Empi site they only had 5.5's. I need to find centers for them too. It measure 3-5/8". That's pretty big.

I just talked with the guy at Big-O and Tuesday he's gunna put different tires on it until something fit. Yoko or Falkens.

woohoo, 8" is mighty big for stock fender wells ...

i don't even know if 205s will be wide enough for 8" wheels. you don't want the tire to jump off the rim ...

8" will require some very creative "rolling" of the fenders to fit.
