Best tire options for a 74 Targa

[ARCSinAK]

My 74 targa has 15x7" fuchs on all for corners, seems like all I can find are RE-11A's in a 205/50. Currently I have some old 205/55 Dunlop's and they don't seem to fill out the wheel wells. Anyone have any suggestions.

do you have 911 fuchs or 951 series

I run 205/60/15's on mine. "Euro" height. Stock narrow body.
They'll have a "softer" feel than the 50's or 55's, but the ride is better.
Are you sure yours are 7"? Most were 6" in '74 I believe.

951 Fuchs only came in 16".

951 16X7's have the same offset as 911's, but they do have a little extra room on the back side for larger brakes, so no help on narrow bodied cars.

205/50's will not fill out the fenders. I personally like the size, but it depends on the height of your car, as for looks.

Thanks for the information men, yes I have 15x7 on all for corners, curious to know if this was spec in 74 or maybe the PO upgraded to fuchs and found 15x7" I do have a set of 15x6 flat fuchs on my 70T and I was thinking aout running the 15x6 on the front of each 911 and the 15x7 on the rear. If so would you use different tire sizes front and rear. The photo in this post shows one of the 15x6 from the T with 205/55, the barn find tires on the 74 developed tumors so I am running the wheel/tires from the 70 at the moment. There is way too much space IMO around the wheel well. How difficult is it to lower a 74 without the adjustable spring plates? Again thanks for your time and input.

Anyone using the Eagle GT V speed rated 205/60 15 on narrow bodies cars with 15" wheels
