what size rubbers should I use
 

I have a stock 77 with 15 inch wheels. The tire size that is on it are 195/60/15. Will a 200 series be a benefit? Or should I stay with the 195s? I think stock is 185/70s but I am not sure? Any Ideas? Pros/Cons?

The biggest you can fit without rubbing? Or I guess you'd want rubbing in some applications...

I always bought the gigantic, extra stupendous, herculean jumbo size. Then I made balloon animals out of them. ;)

Tires are limited by wheel width and fender configuration, obviously. I'm sure if you provided those, you'd get some suggestions.

You better use the rubber covers from ear plugs.

I have 205/60/15's on all 4 coners with stock 15 x 6 wheels. They fit good and don't rub.

195/65 is very close to the original size

I guess the config I have right now would help.. Narrow body (911s) I do not know how wide the wheels are, I am guessing 6" but whatever the stock width was for the 77s's. i dont want to go to big for fear of getting sloppy handling.

I have 195/65F and 215/60R on my 6x15s. The car is lowered to 25.5"F and 25"R. No rubbing. I like them, but if you're looking for less sidewall flex and/or less tire showing, then these rears may be too much for you.

Paul, do you have a pic of the tires on your car?

Great line! http://www.pelicanparts.com/support/smileys/clap.gif

There is a new model for rich porsche owners. They are called the deringers:):):)

my '74 has the stock 6x15's and i'm running 215x60/15 kumho's with no rubbing, but i'm at the limit for width on the rims and fenders both..pics on my profile i believe.

I'm running 205/60/15's on 6x15 on the front and 205/60/15 on 7x15's on the rear on my narrow body '74 with no rubbing or problems.

Per public perception of porsche owners...small.

BTW I have 1/4" spacers on all wheels to fill out those wheel wells. No rubbing.
