4 bolt Mahle rims

Believe all the 914 alloy wheels have same offsets (ET40).  I had Pedrini and now 2L 914 Fuchs on my classic CMC.  I have 185/65x15 with rear std drums (1971 chassis so suspect long axel).  I've sanded most of wheel opening inner ridge - which makes it look more like OEM metal.  I've also thinned out the thickness of the fiberglass inside wheel well (inside of fender).  I have barely a pinky fingernwidth of clearance on driver's side.  I suspect your rear discs might make it tighter (too much so).  The 2L Fuchs (and suspect the Mahle's) have gone up in value - I've seen them for sale for $2k!  If that's case, I may sell them and go with 5 bolt Porsche wheel pattern with replica Fuchs.  I believe the offset gives more clearance with redrilled Porsche pattern rotor/drums.  Think this is what Leon C did to solve his clearance problem????

Using this calculator looks like the CIP1 Fuchs replica ACC-C10-6648 $99.99 each with a 5" back spacing (ET45) will give greater fender clearance by about 1/4".

Other thoughts?

I'm not 100% sure, but I think they should fit fine. If they are genuine Mahle (and not some aftermarket copy) they're 5 1/2 x15, really light, and  pressure cast magnesium weighing 9 1/2 lbs. each. Part # on the backside of each wheel will be 901.361.017.00

I seem to remember them coming in 4x130mm (914) and 5x130mm (914-6) bolt patterns. Al 

PS- the wheel chart of Porsche factory wheels I have lists the offset at 42mm.

The 5 bolt 911 Mahle 901 # is ET42 mm but believe the 4 bolt 914# version is ET40 mm.  Suspect Terri N would know on the 4 bolt - he has tried them all --- or Glenn R.

I had to use 1/4" spacer on front to clear brake caliper.  I sold the OEM dented SS hub covers and bought the deeper polished billet aluminum ISP hub covers which cleared the rear 36mm bolt and the front wheel bearing caps.  The ISP caps use hex screw to secure to wheel.  Be sure to use the special long 914 alloy lug bolts.  Both lug bolts and caps are costly.  

Believe the magnesium Mahle are lighter than the 2L Fuchs - but suspect the forged Fuchs are stronger.

I have them on my car. Penny is a classic body with IRS and rear discs. The right rear rotor width has been shaved about 3/16" to accommodate a 185/65/15 tire. 

The wheels are super light compared to the steel wheels and you really notice the difference in overall performance. They look good as well.

Terry,  You shaved the rotor face ?.....

Not the actual disc face but the rotor face. You have to be careful with the length of your lug bolts and the center cap sits out just a bit. But, 30,000+ miles with no issues...

Thanks all

I got the center hub caps from ISP West.  I got ones without the emblem indent but they are currently out of stock.  The indent allow use of a PORSCHE emblem or leave it plain.  I clearanced inside a little - but it does clear the front wheel speedo drive and big 36 mm nut on rear axles.
