Offset?
Make sure they're not knock-offs...

The early 911/912's were a 14 inch wheel. We have some at the garage where my car is. You would need to check inside the rim to find out the offset.

No, but finding decent "sporty" tires in that diameter is difficult.

Will 14's even fit over 5-lug brakes?

| They should. As they are normally from an early 911 they should fit no problems. |

| But would they look silly since they're so thin and only 14 inches? |

Nah, just lower the car slightly and it won't look too bad.

If you google the address in the CL ad there is a 924 parked out front!
Also, fun tire tool.
