Fuchs wheel opinions needed, which sizes and widths?, List your Fuchs size choices and reasons! Options

I think I have covered the most common Fuchs wheel size combos for a GT tribute or clone. This would be for aggressive street and possibly light track use. Pick a wheel size combo that you think looks best in your opinion. Then list your reasons ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

BTW I am certain most have seen this article on Eric Shea's GT:

Hi all,

On my Phoenix Red racecar #673 above, the tires I'm currently using are:

Hoosier Circuit Racing Radial Slick, S80 compound
P/N 43558 215/580R15 Front
P/N 43568 245/580R15 Rear

Previously I used the Hoosier R6 in 225 Front and 245 Rear. I wanted to jam a 255 or 275 in back, but they wouldn't clear.

Before that it was a narrowbody car and I ran whatever Hoosier Rx flavor was current at the time, in a square 205 front/rear setup on 15x7's. The rear fender lips were rolled and slightly pulled for clearance back then.

Thanks for posting tire sizes. I looked those up and dimensions are as follows:

Front:
Tire Size 215/580R15
Tread Pattern bb - Slick
Tread Width 8.6"
Approximate Diameter 22.9"

Rear:
Tire Size 245/580R15
Tread Pattern bb - Slick
Tread Width 9.4"
Approximate Diameter 22.9"

They 'appear' larger diameter in your pics but well balanced none the less. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Here is a flared -6 with what looks like 8s x 15 all the way around (tires are 225/50-15)
