I have decided to get these empi Fuchs replica wheels for my 71 Irish green 914.
http://www.autoatlanta.com/Porsche-Empi-Fu...EPI9681KIT.html tire rack is telling me that my only two options for tires on these wheels is 165 80 15 pirelli cintuarto or vredestein sprint classics. Currently the car has p185 65r15 86t m+s uniroyal tiger paw's on the stock steel wheels. Does the "80" mean that the profile will be much thicker than the "65" of the current tire? Are these good tires? are there other options? are there other vendors other than tire rack? |

'Do not mount on 5.5 inch wheels' may be embossed on the sidewall of the tires in the wider size. WAY wide, 205, tires tend to bulge on 5.5s. I found them unsettling on my OEM Fuch wheels in corners. My next set will be 185/60. Fancy brand names come with fancy prices.
