Hey brain trust,
Anybody know about fitment for 914 six with flares for these wheels? They are just way to cool.
8, 9 by 16s. Group 4 wheels
Seller says zero offset for both wheels.
I have Brembo brakes with carrera rotors.
I’m not sure if these wheels would fit my car, and if the use of spacers would allow them to fit.
Have 7 and 8 x 15 fuchs.
Quite a bit of clearance on the rears. Using about a 1 inch spacer on the front to keep the front wheels clear of the brake calipers. Still have lots of space between the outside face of the tire in the inside space between the outside of the tire and the inside lip of the flareof the flare

I have a set of 7 and 8 x16 coming and I have flares on my car. I currently am running 7/8x16 fuchs with about a fingers width of room, so I'm sure the 9 would not fit my car.
If you had planned to add 9's in the rear when you installed the flares and made sure there was clearance they probably could work.

to the OP , as seen above there are 7's available you might consider a staggered set of 7/8 - Dave's car is awesome, wheels too, and i dont think he would change but consider that he has a lot more HP. i do thinkg performace and handling they just are not necessary unless you are higher HP, i also agree with the commend about heaviness of steering, i would not want more than the 205/55-16 on the 6" i have in front now. i have same tires on 7" 16's on rear on narrow body car that has stretched fenders to help that fit, but when i had 15" 5.5's the car was more nimble , that is the word i would use, however i will not be changing from where i am now .
- if they made 6" wide rims i would consider it.
