Can anyone recommend a tire size for the stock 15" steel wheels? I would like to go as wide as possible, but not too tall. Car will be lowered. Additionally, is there any benefit to staggering the tires (smaller tires in front)? Sizes front vs. rear?

Your other cars do not have the inherent balance of the 914 chassis. They also have a whole lot of power, unlike your 914. Just get the same size tires all around.
The shorter sidewalls will give you slightly lower gearing, slightly harder ride, slightly better grip, and higher RPMs on the freeway. I'd go for the 60-series for a "driver". --DD |

(The car is a 914-6 if that matters any...). |
