Wheel Sizes on a 412

Post by gearheadgreg »

I know this has been addressed in several different threads, but in different ways - asking about a single type of wheel, etc. I've read lots of the threads, and looking at lots of different Porsche wheels to install.

I am wondering what sizes of wheels people have put on the 412 (and 411)? Anyone that has installed any size wheel other than the stock type 15x4.5 and 15x5.5 stock and aftermarket, please post them up. Also, please post ride height and tire size if possible.

I'll start - if we can keep the format, should make it an easy read.

1973 412
Wheels: Stock steel 15x4.5
Tires: 165SR15
Ride Height: Stock

I currently have the Porsche 914 wheels on my '73 412 that are the same as the 1973 Sport Bug wheels. 5.5X15 ET40 with 165/80/15 tires. Standard ride height etc.
