I bought a nice set of the above Fuchs and can't decide to go all the way for a conversion with these wheels. I like the offset and think they'd look nice; especially with a 55 or 60 tire.

Anyone have pictures? Thanks.

I had a set one time. They were a popular factory option on the 914/6.
Are yours 5.5Jx14? the J is the tubeless variety. No J and you are supposed to run tubes. Getting hard to find performance rubber in 14"

Everyone with stock 914/6 alloy wheels.

Yes 5.5J's. I was unaware the 14's were options on the 914/6.

5.5 x 14 . the oem , from 1970 . this tire is very soft . treadwere 040 traction C temp A . about 5 to 8 thousand miles . depends on the driver .

14" Fuchs . Running Yokohama AVS ES100 205/60/14. Speedo runs fast with the 60 series but I did not want to go taller. Limited selection of tires for the 14" rims.

Michael,

Thanks for the picture and info on what you run. The wheels look great and so does your car.

Pic of a 73 2,0 I owned awhile back. IIRC, it had 195/60/14 BFG Comp TA's on it.
Falken still makes a 195/50/14 Azeni.

Here are some pics of mine: sorry about the disassembly, I am removing door dings and doing some touch-up. The tires are 165vredestein.

Thanks all for the pictures. Very nice looking wheels (and cars). I thought the smaller diameter might minimize the look of the Fuchs - I was wrong. I think they look great.

I'll be getting the conversion! Thanks again,

Nate

5.5X14 with 195/70's

SMG914, great car...can I ask what color is that? Is it red, tangerine or signal orange.....my monitor is kind of weird. I want to redo my paint next year in signal orange.

All excellent cars!! Wish my 914 looked that good. Cheers

Thanks. The picture was taken in the shade with a very expensive camera. It's really not a true representation of the actural color. The color is 23 tangerine/blood orange.

Fuji film perhaps?

I put a set of Pirelli P3000 185/65 R14's on my 5.5J 14" Fuchs. Nice tires, and they weren't real expensive.
