(IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I have a set and I want to use 15" wheels to get a little kick out of autocross corners. I just happen to have a set of 15X7 911 Cookie Cutters in the basement. Anyone with experience?

My 71 narrow body, not like I have a wide body (car anyway), has 15x7 Cookies on the rears with 195/60 tires and there is no way 205/50's would clear. There is less than a 1/4" of clearance.

It has had the rear fender lip rolled and a lot of negative camber in the rear. Back when the car ran and I auto-x with it I ran 205/50 15's on 6" cookies for auto-x and 195/60/15's on 6" & 7" cookies for the street.

I think if you want 205's on 7's you will have to work on the rear fenders.

You wanting a little more grip at the auto-x?

I have a set of early (all silver finish) 6x15 cookies but 1 is bent.
And I have a set of later (black center, machined lip) 6 & 7 cookies.
You could use a pair of early 6's and a pair of late 6's.
