Wheels and Tires

Wheels are Fuchs 6x16F and 6 1/2x16R with a 5mm spacer.
1/2 inch added to rear inside rim. I made a pair of 7's with 911R offset but the 205's rubbed the ground down nut on the spring plate and there is no room to go out further as I won't roll the fenders.
Tires are 195/55 front and 205/55 rear. I was hoping to go 195/60 on 6's and 215/55 on 7's. If I had a 69 or later car it would have worked. 195/60 and 215/55 tires are within 1/100th and 11/100ths of a inch of 185/70/15's.
