Hi Andrea,

Welcome to DDK.

Since you couldn't find that six; which model did you end up buying instead ?

Any chance you could post some photos of your newly acquired 914 ?

Congratulations - pics?!

This book is quite useful if you're planning to modify the car, but definitely not worth the 'new' prices being quoted.

5 stud Fuchs ain't cheap. 15" Cookie Cutters seem to be a lot cheaper, but you might want to finalise your plans for brakes and hubs first.

For example... sold now though. http://retrorides.proboards.com/thread/ ... 130-offers

Hi,

Check out this thread on 914World..Eric Shea is a master of 914 brakes and suspension setups in the US. This thread seems to cover most, if not all, the 5 lug conversion options. Will be doing it myself too..one day!

Hi Andrea

Easiest and quickest way to convert to 5 stud is to change to 911 struts on the front and put on a set of these on the back

Yours for £100. They were on my car for many years before I upgraded to bigger driveshafts to cope with the extra power and demands of rallying.

Hi Andrea
Welcome!

I put a set of 4-5 lug converters on that I bought pretty cheap from VW Heritage, changed mine to Fuchs & think it looks pretty good.
It does push the wheels pretty far out towards the body but that doesn't bother me particularly.

Ill dig out a link if you're interested?
