So its possible you have 6, 7, and 8s.

They are Fuchs 9x16. I have the receipt from the seller. He paid a pretty penny.

So, in sharing thoughts, and with an eye toward the future, I would suggest that, if your car is otherwise original and matching #s, I would keep everything that is original.

The car is mostly original, but has a few changes including headers/SSI, cold air intake, radio, and tower bar.

7's and 9's are the way to go.

In favor of keeping the 9x16, it seems to be a desirable update. The upside is that it looks better, and I'm respecting the previous owners intent. It also, saves me the hassle of selling the 9x16 wheels.
In the negatives column, keeping the 9's would mean having to make room to store the 6x16's, which increases clutter. Rear tires 9's are twice the cost of 7's. Very limited tire selection. Selling the 9's is tempting bc that would fund quite a bit of maintenance. If Bridgestone stopped making the RE-11 245/24/16, the value of the 9's would vanish overnight.
Tough call, but I appreciate all the feedback. Many more questions to follow.
