I love the stance on this car (posted on 914 World.com in 2003. Anyone any guess as to what tyres it is running??

Bridgestone 205s. Although I'm drunk and lost my reading glasses.

They're 16" Fuchs so my guess is 7" wheels with 205/55 tyres

Rear wings may have been pulled a bit

I like the look as well. I havn't pulled for a while, what's involved?

You basicly get hold of the rear arch and Pull it out to clear the wheels. A bit more involved than that but any custom body shop should beable to do it

The biggest you can go on 16x7 is 195x55 without "pulling" the arches which is what I'm running on and then It's possible you will need to fold the lip at top of the arch if you haven't got the later rear wings with the cutout.

In the U.S, the normal way to pull the rear wing outwards is with a baseball bat !

Google "rolling arches". lots of u-tube vids. Quite a few mobile operators doing it with a heat gun & rolling tool (frost sells them). Can look okay if only a small adjustment but looks terrible if overdone.
