they arent hubcentric... so they will need to be machined for a late 72+ car.... no big deal for your local machinist....
they look bitchin...
9.5 are too wide for stock GT flares.. you are about .5" too wide... but you can fix that with fiberglass....
I was told by the previous owner he used them with standard GT flares. I made sure of this before I bought them. That said, I have never mounted them so, I can't say for sure. In fact here is a copy of my corespondence with him.
Also, about your other wheels (8s and 9.5s).... What size tire did the
9.5's require? QUOTE
I used 225X50X16 on the 8" front and 245X45X16 on the 9.5" rear. These you can see mounted in the pictures on the web site I sent you.
Did they fit under the fenders of the car you sent the
pics of? QUOTE
Yes, They fit fine and I don't think my fender flares are as big as the standard factory flare.
Spacers or no spacers? QUOTE
With Spacers
I am a little concerned about finding
tires that fit those 9.5s.QUOTE
Not a problem there are pleanty available
Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions. I am trying to
commit to some wheels for my (soon to be) flared 914, but as you know 4
lug options are minimal. I am really close to just doing a 5 lug
conversion but I am trying to avoid that for now.QUOTE
Exactly the concerns I had and solved with these wheels. This was a great set up for me. I was totally happy with it and not at all tempted to go to the 5 bolt set up. I felt it was much better than the 5 bolt setup.
