I'll post some of mine after the Tropical Ramble. I'm running 16x7 front, 16x9 rear.

It took changing brands to get a set of four tires of comparable performance, but in the end I got 215/45R16 Kumho Ecsta XS's for the front and 245/45R16 Bridgestone Potenza RE-11's for the rear.

The trouble with 15s is very limited available for the street
If there where enuf demand for a run of 245, 225 205( in 15inch) in matching compounds and treads... would a tire company make a run for us vintage guys..if we compiled a big ass list of buyers?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

Should they be 8x15 and 9x15 ?


Here is a list of the original GT options:

Btw. The first column (Einpresstiefe) is the wheel offset.


The red arrow points to the 9"/11" option which according to the text above was to be used with extra wide (metal?) flares.

Here are some more thoughts on why Harvey uses 4 16X6 Fuchs to make 2 16X8.5. It takes a long time to get things done by Harvey so I had a good long time to think about it. I remember thinking, 'why doesn't he take 4 16X7 and make 16X10's.' When it came right down to putting the wheels on the car though, I discovered that Harvey has probably forgotten more about 914's then I know. (and yet, he doesn't call himself Dr. 914 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ) Mark called me to say there was a problem, but he handled it. The problem? The 16X8.5 wheels snuggle right up to the AA flares. Mark opined that this probably wasn't a problem originally since the original GT flares didn't have but half the flange around the wheels arch. Mark just happened to have a car with real factory flares to compare it to. Bottom line, Harvey's 16X8.5 combination couldn't fit any closer to perfect under a set of flares.

As you may be able to see, McMark clearanced the very top of the arch and since the wheels 'gain' camber as the suspension squats, the tire never contacts the wheel arch.

Are any businesses/craftsman taking 16x6" Fuchs and widening them to 16x8" or 16x8.5" with only one pair of wheels to original specs/lightness, not 4 16x6"s? I have a set of 16x6" Fuchs and it seems widening them to 8" (or possibly 8.5") would be more cost effective than finding an increasingly expensive pair of original 16x8" wheels.

These wheels were done by Weidman as well though no flares. Wanted to keep body original. They do great work! Also used 911 16X6 fronts because of the more available tire options.Attached Image
