911 hot rod tires

So I built a 1968 Hotrod 911 R look last year. It has 7" fuchs all the way around with 205 / 50 /15 tires on it. While it looks like it should be a the race track, it is a little too modern looking, and will bottom out on everything. I know I can raise it up, but then the tires won't look right, kinda like O-rings... Thinking of a vintage race tire (Dunlop or Avon) Any one out there have any wood ideas for size and tire? Thanks

Matt

Tires



You could try these Bridgestone Potenza RE 760 Sport 195/65/15 on 7jX15 Fuchs. These are fantastic tires, but if you don't like too much side wall as I do, then they also come in 195/60/15, which are just a tad smaller in diameter. Also if you'd prefer a wider tire they come in 205/60/15. I love the vintage look on the car and mind you, there is a 330hp 3.8 on 50mm PMOs in the back of this thing, which are in total control with the Potenzas.
Cheers
MD
