Porsche 914- GT Wheel and Tire Specs, Wheel and Tire Specs Options

[Arnage]

Hello. I am new to this group. I am looking for the original wheel and tire specs for factory 1970-72 914-6 GT's.

So what size tires are you guys using for your 7 & 8 x 15 Fuchs for a street application to look period correct?

Thanks for all the feedback. I was looking for factory GT specs which, from what I have read, appear to be 7 and 8x15's. Subject car already has steel GT flares, so those are the wheel sizes I will use if I go forward with the project. I used to race an IMSA style 914-6 GT in vintage so I am aware there were many wheel variants over time. That car had 11" rear flares with 10x15 BBS rear wheels. Thanks again for all the thoughts and information.

^ Cool car!

Michelin TBs hard to beat if gummy tires are desirable. Steering is beautiful, ride easily good enough for the street. Jeff Zwart runs these on his car, on 7s & 9s. For a pure street tire, Pirelli P6000 N-spec in 195/65R15 and 215/60R15 on Eric Shea's car look great. He can probably speak to handling. Now there are two more options: Avon CR6ZZ in 185/70 and 215/60 and Pirelli CN36 in the same sizes.

Of the above, the CN36 is the only one that's truly period correct. The P6000 is the only one that can be criticized for looking a bit out of period, but it still looks good.
