205/55 hands down (IMHO
)...
205/50, as Shaun states, is just too small/low profile on the 911 (early or late).
205/60 look like balloons after eyeing 55's for a while...
It is a personal choice since ride height plays into it, too. Technically spreaking
, the 205/50 gets "pretty far" from what Porsche intended for rolling diameters (stock = ~25" dia, 205/50 = ~23" dia). 50 series will start to impact speedo accuracy and gearing if not compensated for. Just ask the autocrossers... they run 'em for a reason!
You asked for pix...
205/50 on 15x6's on a low '68:
205/60 on 15x7's on a (poorly sitting) '74:
205/55 on 15x7's (mmmm... just right):
Just my 2 cents (well maybe that was more like 4 cents)
.
P.S. Shaun, those pics of the cookies on the early car you keep posting almost got me to buy that set you were selling.... stop it!
