914 rim offset

Post by dsullivan »

Do 4 bolt 914 steel wheels have more offset than a stock vw rim? I am building a vw baja and my stock rims with big tires rub on the inside,just wondering if 914 wheels were set out more.

914 wheels are ET41 where VW wheels are ET34, so they sit deeper.

With the 914 Mahles at least tire will rub on the trailing arm and springs on a Super...

Close tho...

zero vehicles on jackstands, square gets a fresh 090 and 1911, cabby gets a blower.
EZ3.6 Vanagon after that.(mounted, needs everything finished) then Creamsicle.
