I have 15x7 and 8's on my RS clone, 205/60/15 front and 225/60/15 rear
I run V rated mini van tires , They are light , and handle better than most drivers will ever drive to.
39.5 pounds for the rear tires , and 32.5 for the front , complete .

This is exciting news! I’m throwing these Fuchs on tomorrow. Not only will I be saving weight in the wheels, but also in the tires. I’m (stupidly) running Huge tires on my car. I didn’t want to have to re index my t bars. PO had 17’s with 245’s in the rear and 225’s in the front. I went down to a 16 and have been running 245/50/r16’s rear, and 225 for the fronts. What a mistake that was. The tires are g force Michelin’s with a ton of life left. So I’ll probably keep them for at least another 5k miles. I know it should be a huge difference when I go down in diameter.
Appreciate all of your responses. Currently the steering is really heavy..which I do enjoy . My other 911 has Fuchs with 15’s (7’s and 8’s). Steering is so much lighter, but it’s also a longhood. The car I was originally referring to is an 88 cerrera.
