Thanks Brian[/QUO
what do you currently have on them now?

and what is the size of your rims....more information needed for others to help you

The rims are 16” X 7 there wasn’t any tyres on the rims when I got them , don’t want tyres that are going to look too thin
Thanks B

think you'd need/want to run 205/55-16 all the way around (this is the widest that will fit up front with 7" fuchs) -- same size (at least up front) as a 78-89 sc/carrera (so you can see height on other cars) -- by too thin, presume you mean too short (sidewall height vs tread width).

I want the tyres to look wide ,I’ve seen 911s where the tyres look thin ,I also don’t want the car to look as if it’s sitting to high
Thanks Brian

As noted above, for 16" wheels the size would be 205/55-16 to get the stock diameter and the speedo to read correctly. I use Continental ExtremeContact Sports on my 1973 (same body style).

Current street setup of 205/55-16 on 16x6 Fuchs and lowered.

Because of how lowered my car is, I needed to roll the fenders and install Turbo Torsion Bars. If you go with a more "normal" ride height, I doubt these changes would be needed.

I choosed 195-65-15 instead of the standard period correct 185-70-15.
Previously I had 205-60-15 front and rear but I didn't liked 'em because I have lost in handling... The car felt like an elephant on tight curves.
