Wheel Question

[Overseas72]

Hi , Im looking for ideas. I have a 74 Targa someone put a steel wide body kit on. It has a set of Gotti J55A wheels with tire sizes front 225/50/15 back 345/35/15.
Replacement tires for these wheels are priced crazy high. So I'm looking for a Gotti replica or something close to these that a reasonable priced tire fits on. Does anyone know who might sell something similar? Thank you in advance for your time and Advice.

15's are harder to find in the wider widths .... I am sure someone here will know ..

But may I say ... Damn .. nice car ... love the wheels ...

do have one question ? .. did they install a turbo to help turn those 345's ?

15s and 16s in wide sizes are hard to come by now, especially if you want the brand to match front and rear. Your best best is to move to 17s if possible, but there arent a lot of cheap options. Under $1000 usually means using wheels from a newer carrera with big spacers which looks wise and performance wise might not be ideal but at least it gives you access to a larger variety of tires at a much more affordable price.

i see used 17 inch wheels (BBS, CCW, forgeline etc) for turbo body cars in the $2k range from time to time. You could also see about breaking up your gottis and rebuilding them with 17 inch rims but Im not sure who makes/sells them, or that it would be the best/cheapest route unless youre really in love with the look.

Good luck, unfortunately theres not a lot of options given the size and bolt pattern is so unique on 911s

Unfortunately they didn't upgrade the engine with a turbo. It still has the 2.7 in it for now. I plan on a engine swap in the near future. The tires look a little dry rotted so i decided to go ahead and move on this problem. Just one rear tire for these is 1000$ so i just want to see what my options might be instead of spending 3-3500$ on tires alone.
Im not stuck on having that type of wheel but i do like the date period look. Thank you for your responses and all the help.

My car is similar (76 Targa with Turbo flairs) 16x8 on the front and 16x9 inch Fuchs fit nicely with the right spacers. The 9s are hard to come by but will hold their value if you can find a set.
You can then run 245s on the front and either 255-65-or 75s on the rear.
