Anyone running 9x16 (930 Fuchs) rears with flares?

Did you have to install a spacer on the rear hub? If so, why?

Thanks.

i sure would like to see that too. still thinking about that combo.

9 x 15 (or 16 or 17) with 285/45

I have Steel GT flares on my 914. My street wheels are 15 by 7 & 8 Fuchs with 225/50/15 at all 4 corners. I run 1-in spacers up front and 1/4-in on the rear.

My track wheels (Borbet) are 16 by 8 & 9 with 225/50/16 front and 245/45/16 rear. I keep the 1-in spacers up front and use no spacers in the rear. I had to trim the inner lip of the rear flares for adequate clearance. But they fit fine.

Ed

now show us those wheels! with the car attached to them ...
Andy

Yeah , yeah yeah.... You gotta wait until I feel like throwing them back on again, it's cold here in NJ, there is no incentive.LOL

I'll check to see if I have a pic, if not I'll take one this weekend.

It looks really cool from the back with these tires on.

Ed

Ya gotta watch this EvilEd guy.

He "claims" to have turboed
a T-4. Even bogused up a bunch of pics of the car and they put it in Excellence......A hell of a PhotoShop job, I figure.

Shhhhhhhhhh... JP, that's suppossed to be a secret.

Besides, I'm gonna use PhotoShop to actualy "fit" those 9-in wheels on the 914.

Ed

I ran 245s on my 16x8s and used a one inch spacer with standard 914/6 flares.

Lots of responses, thanks... but none with my specific combo question answered... keep trying.

What is the offset for a 9/16 Fuchs ?

23.3 mm offset

I'm using a 9.5/17 wheel with a 20.5mm offset and running a 255/40/17 tire.this would be about .30 inches taller than the 245/45/16 . The inside rear needs a 1" spacer. I've got less than a 1/2 inch clearance on both the inside and outside with these with the 9" flair.


Bob................The guy that sent you the gas filler neck and cap

Ahh... thanks Bob (the gas filler cap guy!)

Hey..somebody dug up EvilEd !!

What are you working on now Ed ?? Anything cool ??

Karl, I have run 9X16 Fuchs with 245's, currently I have 1/2 in spacers on the car. If I trim the flares a bit I could get a 1" spacer in and get the wheels out further.

Without the spacers the wheels get lost in the wheelwells.

Yup - that's exactly what I'm running. Fuchs 16x9, steel GT flares, .5" spacer.

The spacer just clears my rear brakes (C2T), and the flares were welded up to make this fit right. You really need to get everything fit (brakes/wheels/tires) then weld up the flare where you want them. My fender had to be pulled about 3/4" out for this combo to work, then the flare was welded on.

No good pictures right now other than this. (before engine installed)

Hey Brad, Nothing new with the 914, but I did build an old school style chopper this year, I think it's pretty cool.

You can check it out at http://community.webshots.com/user/evill914
if your into bikes.

Plannin' some upgrade for the 914 this winter, I'll be here askin' lots of questions.

regards,
Ed

Steve,

That building looks like "Beach Boys Racing" Bob Farmer's place in Venice next to Otto's.


Cool Ed.. it turned out slick.


B

Nope, it's a shop here in downtown San Diego. I know what your talking about though. That photo was actually taken inside, it's just a very large warehouse.

-Steve

Rockin' Ed! The chopper looks great!

I want to do an ME (Maltese Enhanced) interior in my black car.

Steve,

Do you have any side shots of the car with the wheels on it ?

B

16x9 bbs et15 fits with no spacers with fiberglass flares

Does that mean that these could fit??

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...item=2443340471

17x9s for the read and 17x7.5s on the front?

Would that be too much rubber? Is there such a thing??

I would probably go for like 45 series tires or something.

Fiid.

These were 17x8.5 17x7 with 32mm spacers

Greg,


That color is kick ass. Any more pics of that car (or is it a fulll blown rac car now) ??LOL


B

nope, full boat race...

bbbb

Greg Looks like the car from Rotue 33 in Moiser Oregon.

I beleive it is, bought it from steve demost somthing or another up there. originally built by john forbes from del ray. yellow to black to this blue.

993 wheel with front/rear 7/9 225/255

Sure, 9x16 245/45 with a 1" spacer, Stock...

9x16, no spacers.

This pic was taken by DD. (damp dave)

I forgot to say that I have 1.5" spacers all the way around b/c the backspacing on the wheel is to big or small, depending on how you look at it.

I'm running 7x16 993 rims with 205-50-16" up front with 1" spacers.
In the rear I'm running riveted on GT fiberglass flairs with 9x16" 993 rims with 245-45-16" tires and 2 1/4" spacers.

Steve

Dennis,

Are you running 16x9's on all 4 corners?????

Thanks!

No, the fronts are 8x16. I forgot to add yesterday that the flares are fiberglass.

Thangs dgw
