Tire size?
Hi, I have a 1975 911S with 15x6 J Flat Fuchs on all 4 no flare. What size tires should I buy? Subjective I know. But what I'm going for is something a little wider in the back than the fount so that it wont rub and I don't have to role/modify the fenders? I need help.
Thanks for the help Bobby... "What tires will fit"??? so I don't waste a bunch of $$$ I don't have.

15x55x185-205 tires. Those are the common sizes. Sidewall height is your call-50-60, as it changes the look of the car a lot.

When I was running 15" wheels on the street, I used 205/60-15 tires. No fitment issues.
Some like 195/60-15 tires to give it more of a vintage look. I also at one point ran 205/55-15 which were ok but my Speedo read really low and I did not like that. I use the same size all round to make rotating easier. For Ultra High Perfomance Tires: Tire Rack shows the following summer tires in 205/60-15: BFGoodrich g-Force Sport and Yokohama AVS ES100. If you are looking for an All Season Performance Tire, they show: Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Pole Position and Kumho Ecsta ASX. Any of these would would do you fine.

OK, will a set "4" 215/60/15 fit all around? is that to wide for the front? I found some Goodyear eagle gt's "Z" rated at a good price. Will they fit?
