Porsche Crest Ok guys lets see your 911 with 7/8 X15 Fuchs wheels (pics please)

I just bought a set of fuchs wheels 7/8 x15, I haven't put them on my car yet because they didn't come with tires so if you guys can please post up some pics and info on the tires that your using that would be great.

Another Toronto guy here . . .

205/55-15 & 225/50-15 Toyo Proxes T1-S on 7s & 8s. Great tires. They have now introduced the T1-R which replaces the S with improved tread etc. I got them from Nantucket Tire in Scarborough. 416-288-9399

Pic taken at recent SW Ontario Pelican Run.

looking good, looks like most of you guys are going with the 205 50 for the front and 225 50 for the rear. What if I used a wider tire for the rear will it rub?

205/55 front. 225/50 rear. Doesn't look quite so small in the front wheelwell as a 205/50, but the tire choices are fewer.

No pic yet but 205/50 and 225/50. You don't need to go wider
