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.

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.
