RSR 73 15x9 Front Michelin TB15 tyre pics

Looking for pics of 73 RSR 15x9 front wheel and tyres with Michelin TB15 23/62 15 fitted. I know a lot of people are running 18/60s up front but they are not spec'd for a 9 inch wheel. Also interested on what rear tyre is being run in combination.

the TB5 26/31 is the more common choice for an 11" rear , it specs to 291/39 x15 in modern metric speak when mounted on aa 10, ~308/38on an 11, nominal equivalent is 285/40
tire OD is ~24.0", axle height is ~11.7"

your right most use the 148/600 font eon a 9 even though it's only spec'd for an 8, the reason is the ire height @23.8", axle height ~11.6" is a good match for the 256/31 rear even though the width is too small

a 23/62 om 9 measures to 278/43, O/D ~24.4" w/ axle height ~11.9"
