Hi,

Does anyone know the bolt pattern for the standard 4 lug porsche wheels/hubs?

THanks,

Carlos

all 914's use 130mm BHC. /4's are 4-bolt. /6's are 5-bolt.

you will need 4-7/8" backspace.

i was surprised this isn't in the 914 Info tab...

good luck finding anything.....I wouldn't bother calling any of the regular wheel shops in the area....they'll be clueless or try and sell you VW bug rims icon8.gif

best choice is Revolution (see vendor section) or Panasports (HPH)

Find a set of Fuchs or Mahles for cool looking "sport wheels" for the 4 bolt setups.

or you can buy those Empi 8 spokes and run really narrow tires too.

I prefer the pedrini wheels. I like the look a little better than the mahles.
Pedrini:

This is personally, my favorite 914 stock wheel, the Pedrini. The Pedrini was a 4-bolt alloy wheel offered from 70-72, and at first glance is very similar to the 4-bolt Mahle. There are two different types of Pedrini's out there. Early (and most common) Pedrini's will not fit on later (hubcentric) cars.

Mahle:

This is a 4- bolt Mahle wheel. Factory option from 73-76. In 1974, these were stock on all Limited Edition cars and were painted to match the trim (yellow, orange or green). It sounds ugly, but looks cool.

I hope they don't mind!!!
