Once again, I have found the Pelican archives to be most enriching and valuable in my quest for deeper Porsche knowledge.
And once again I need to clarify some points and reduce this topic to a definitive "answer".
Mr. Anderson recommends 7x15 wheels w/ 205/60-15 tires for a 69-77 911 in his Second Edition of the "Bible".
I might assume that this 'suggestion' consciously fails to mention the 911R type wheel for reasons of cost.
I am running 205/50zr16 SO2s with 16x6 'standard' offset (x4) now on my '72. I am rubbinig on the leading edge of the front fender and caster adjustments are not going to fix this problem - too far back and these tires will rub the well.
Given a choice between 4 15x7 911R wheels and 2 15x6 deep-6 (front) and 2 15x7 911R wheels (rear), what is the best choice in a "perfect world".
1) My gut says that 4 911R 15x7 wheels with 225/50 tires is the choice. If this choice was pursued, what do you pros say about fitment? If spacers needed, what size and where: front and/or rear?
2) This choice uses 911R 15x7 in the rear with 225/50 tires and deep-6 15x6 wheels in the front - what size tires does one use in the front?! And again: if spacers, what size and where?
In a "perfect world" which option is better if you may have 300hp to the rear wheels and subsequently more weight in the back?
Note: This will not be a track application, but an aggressive street car.
I know I am asking too much from this application, but I would like to know what combination will be more effective!
Happy Holidays and thanks again to all of you folks!
Regards,
Kurt
