With the help of this form and others, we have been slowly restoring our Delphi Green 73 914 2.0/4 Appearence package and are finally approaching the completion. In preparation of the build completion we asked Al Reed to restore our wheels and they arrived this morning. We think the wheels are amazing (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
That said, I was going to install a set of P7s 165 70 15. Thoughts and advice would be appreciated. Please note that we will share the entire build once complete, thanks again for all the help! Attached thumbnail(s) |

What are you going to use the car for?
If concours, get 165/80-15 tires. Vredestein makes ones with a vintage-looking tread pattern, and Coker I think re-pops Michelen XWXes. If racing/track days/autoX, go with the largest tires allowed by the rules and/or the fenders. Usually 205/50-15. For just cruising around, find a tire you like the looks of and go with it. --DD |
