Narrow or stock body fenders Car , 4 bolt real fuchs or 2liter wheels

Has 195/60r 15 on it now
Netto touring front (still tread enough but are like 8 years old )
Continental touring rear ( tread is pretty low also old but in good shape)


I beginning to realize a tire failure on these cars could be especially dangerous



Cause lets face it a 914 gets driven harder then
A toyota



I dont want to roll the fender lips and the clearance with current tire size is already tight


Budget pretty wide open since i want something reliable or high quality ?

I thought about ordering from here
But wasn't sure 100% about size
And i never bought tires online before

I think they had some pirells for like 200 a tire
I was thinking about it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif)

They are know for period correct tires using modern technology.
The XWX's are a period correct tire for the 914 but priced at $390 a tire!

maybe for a cw?
