Looking to put some shoes on the "roller" 74 2 liter. In the past my old 914 was able to fit a 205/60 - 15 under the fender in the rear with a little rework of the flange.

Looking for a performance tire today that can fit Fuchs under a a non-molested rear fender. Ok maybe a little flange massaging.

I replaced my old tires with 195/65-15. They look period correct and fit easily In the fender wells. However, I don't track or Autocross the car anymore.

I run Bridgestone Potenza, 205/60's on 4 bolt fuchs, no mods to wheel wells, really like those tires and they look right. Just a pleasure car, some spirited driving but no racing or anything like that. I run about 29 psi, seems to be about right.for the kind of driving I do.

With the proper offset wheels, yes. 50's might, depending on the car, but 60's will fit. I run 205/60 kuhmo excta's on 4 bolt Fuchs. About 3/4 " clearance on both sides. Those same tires had little or no clearance on my old Dan Gurney westerns.

I ran 205 60 15s with a quarter inch spacer all the way around on 4 lug Fuchs. Needed longer bolts though.

I'm with George running 195 65 15 s now on Dads car. Looks about right for motoring driving.gif
