He wants to buy 9inch wide minilites for the rear of his 914-4 with GT flares and needs to know the backspacing ET number.

Can't recall off the top of my head, I will have to pull the 9x15 Magnesium wheels I have from storage and then take measurements.
BTW, there are newly available 9x15 Minilites Alloy wheels, see here

Longitudinals Restoration
Here is an area that's often overlooked by many. The jack receivers rust from the inside out later creating havoc.
The following photos will detailed what we had to do to the car, starting with the passenger side. Take a look...

Amazing work. That finished, painted metal looks great. You can see that other than the Targa top the 914 was actually pretty well designed for structural rigidity while maintaining usability as a streetable car.

The 914 is vastly superior in torsional rigidity than the 911 Targa, but not to say is 'perfect'. Doing a buyer's inspection on a 914 or 911 Targa? Just put it on the lift and see if the doors close!

Collecting Wheels for my Tires...
The heading is sort of funny, but so true! "Collecting Wheels for my Tires"...
 I'm not quite sure yet what I'm going to do. Let me explain. It would be a headache to have to worry about mounting and unmounting tires on nicely finished and restored Fuchs depending on where you'll drive the car; at a rally, an autoX, the track, or the street. My goal is to have a set of wheels/tires to mostly use to show or display the car when finished, two other sets mounted with racing rubber and one fourth set for normal street driving. In essence, I'm buying wheels for my tires and the reason why I now have four pairs of 8x15 Fuchs, three pairs of 9x15 Fuchs and the one pair of 9x15 Magnesium Minilites. The Minilites should not be driven on the street, they are Magnesium and can damage easily, will probably be exposed to less danger at the track. BTW, where I live, in California there are way too many potholes on the road these days (due to the poor economy) and most cities don't have it in their budgets to make the overwhelming and necessary road/bridge repairs (called it deferred maintenance, if you live in California, you know!). It is pathetic, but come drive our streets and you'll see what I mean (drop a Mag wheel in one of those potholes and you're done for the day!). Anyway, I have plenty of time to figure this out with the tires and wheels situation, and you're right, a long time ago I started my wheels collection so that I can have these choices available when the time comes.

914-6 GT Mechanical Headlight Kit
Next in line in my GT project is the installation of a 914-6 GT Mechanical Headlight Kit. I'll begin the section with a few photos of some well known 914-6 GT cars and how these kits were installed in each. Not all the photo exposures are good, but it is what I have for now.
 Let's take a look, I'll start with the Monte Carlo 0141 GT...   The Collier 914-6 GT (Nurburgring)  Note the pull-handle used to release the mechanical headlights...   BTW, same 914-6 GT, just a different fuel tank (a safety cell was installed for an event and the factory 100 liter fuel tank was removed).
