I'm looking forward to 14's & 15's on my car... if nothing else, just to step out of the box a bit.

A little update here for anybody interested in 14's up front...

The Firestone F-560 155-14's seem to be a perfect fit (for me, anyway). Compared to my Pirelli 135-15's, the 155-14 are only 8mm taller but I gain about 15mm in tread contact area. I ended up with a 2.5" link pin dropped spindle / disc brake conversion and everything seems to clear fine (VW calipers & rotors).
Overall, I'm happy with the look so far...

D.B.O. Not a club; a state of mind.

Amen to THAT. I was gonna put some 14" 911 Fuchs on the front with my ball joint drop spindles. Then, Dave told me the same thing. Hence why I sand blasted my BRMs and left everything alone.

Lookin' forward to seeing your car, Dave... can't wait.

I like that combo! Works great for a K&L car. Too bad you can't find a fat F-560 to match out back anymore Sad
