Title: Any Cal-lookers running 14" wheels/tires?
Post by: Stephen schmidt on September 28, 2011, 22:40:41 pm

I know that Empi used to make 2 piece 14" 8's, and a few other manufacturers as well.

I was just wondering if anyone today still runs an aftermarket 14" wheel with tires on their cal-look car?

Post a picture or specs if you have them!

Thanks, Stephen

I tried running 14" American Racing libres on my '67 but the offset was wrong and they rubbed like crazy.

Here is a pic from 1982 of my 57 oval rag with 14" alloys, I think they were from a 912 Porsche originally.

Theres a very period black looker in Sweden that runs 14" Empi wheels from a Datsun(?), but sadly I don't have pics...

My clubmate Diederick is running 14 inch Fuchs. If i'm correct he runs discs up front.

The only thing bad about 14's is that you can't run drop spindles on a ball joint car.

Thanks Jesse! I run 14x5.5 and 15x5.5 on 155/14 and 205/70/15 and discs all around.

I really like Otto's car too. I'd never think 165/14 up front and 14" in the rear can look that good. There's something about those Ronals that works even better than fuchs when it comes to 14" in the rear.
