I am about to mount 9" cantilever slicks on 15x7 cookie cutters for my 914-6 conversion. Does anyone have any advice on wheel spacers? How much do you expect I will need front and back. Any good (inexpensive) sources for spacers?

Thanks,

----Bill

That's the plan. It depends a bit on getting a few "must-do" items like wheel spacers sorted out. What complicates things is travel. I'm on the East coast all this week and in LA most of next week.

I don't know if this is helpful, but David Coleman has been running that set up for years if anyone knows of him. I've seen him at autocrosses in the past.

Is he still around? Haven't seen or heard much about him or Judy since the late '90s. Since he left Excellence. confused24.gif
Back then they had a fairly stock white 914-6.

Bill Pickering ran 1.7" and 1.1" H&R spacers with the same wheels and tires on his track car before I bought it. These had bolts, not long studs.

I last saw him and Judy about a year ago at an autox with a tricked out new mini. He was doing a write up for another magazine. The mini did poorly at the track and David can drive. He and Judy have brought that same 6 out that they bought brand new.
