Many thanks , paul

Paul,

Here's my '74 with 6x15 in front and 7x15 in rear with 205/60/15 all around. no fender rolling done, no rubbing and no problems...

I used a 7x15, ET23.3 w/ 215/60 for a short period. The tire would rub the body several inches above the lip, well into the sheetmetal of the fender.

So something shorter than 25.3" tall tire, 205/60 or 225/50 would be your best bet.

Well I have 7X15's and had 205X55's and now 205X50's with no rubbing. I do run a lot of neg camber however. Some say you will wear the inside but with 2 ° neg front/rear and soft autox tires I still get about 30,000 miles wear.

I used 7x15's as my track wheels with yokos 195/60 008's all around....left rear rubbed till I upsized the torsion bars.



Now with the limited selection of 15's I run 6x16's with MPSC 205/55 all around.
