I'll have to check calculations I did awhile back. The 914 alloy wheels all have ET45 off set so that ends up being about 4.42" backspacing. If the advertised 5" is correct I'd gain 1/2" clearance from the outer fender edge. (I realize that isn't real accurate since there is still the outer tire rim and the width of the tire to consider too - but even 1/4" would be beneficial. My concern is some of the Fuchs replicas say 4.5" which is same as the 2L wheels so no gain).

Wish I had 1 CIP fake Fuchs on hand! Might be worth the $100 plus return shipping - but would really like to mount a tire which means they most likely wouldn't be returnable.
