Tire size on the rear w/o flares
I've put a European 3.0 into my 71t. I do not want to flare my fenders, and am trying to figure out how much rubber I can fit on the rear end. The 3 liter makes the car fun, but a little tail happy.
Right now, I'm running 205/60 15s all around. Is it possible to put a wider tire on the rear if I roll the fender lips a bit? I an assuming the answer is "not advised" and am making suspension modifications to compensate. Thoughts? Jamie |

Jamie,
I ran 215/60VR-215s and 235/60VR-15s on stock-fendered '73 for years on 6 x 15 Fuchs ... Pirelli CN-36s!!! You may have to settle for a variation in available sizes with the limited selection of high-performance 15-inch tires, such as 215/65ZR-15, or 225/60VR-15, or 235/55VR-15 ... but there are still some available. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/Sizes.jsp?make=Pirelli&model=P600%2CP600+M%2BS Check all of the advertisers in Road & Track! ------------------ Warren Hall 1973 911S Targa |
