Seeking photo's and opinions on tires (various sizes such as 195/65, 205/55, and 205/50) fitted to 6.5x15 Minilite wheels and any fitment issues with stock bodied 914's. Appreciate any and all input from the 914 World community.

Thanks,
Mark

Vintage magnesium Minilites 15" x 6"....not 6.5
Timed out Dunlops 205/55 X 15" SP Sport 3000
No clearance issues and could clear another 1/2" both inside and out
front and rear

195/65-15 on 6.5x15 Minilites - no clearance problems on stock body

Have seen 195/65 and 195/50 and (I think...) 205/50 on 15x6.5 Minilites.

195/60 should be good also. Suspect 205/60 may be a tough fit depending on particular tire as well as offset of the 6.5s.

^ Cool car!

pvollma, I sent you a PM.

Please Keep Posting Minilite Porn!

Love me some minilites on early 70s cars!

Agree 100% Looks like your from NH possibly. Where are you located?

I have a house in Somersworth, NH. I am there about 2-4 months a year though. Currently in San Diego until 9/30.

195 60 15. Close in the rear, but it all depends on your ride height.

I ran 205x50R15s on my stock bodied -4 w/ 6.5" wheels. Very nice combination that fit well. The 6.5" wheels made a big difference in stabilizing the sidewall compared to the factory 6.0" wheel. I was surprised, but it resulted in a measurable difference on the autocross course.

Not exactly Minilite porn but....
Just mounted the tires on these wheels .... need a suitable spare for my
jaunt to Stroudsburg next week.....hoping for one that doesn't leak.....
