Hi,

I`m running 195/65-15 tyres on 5,5" 5-Spokes. I have a wide axle, too.
That Combo fit`s under Standard Fenders.

cheers Tobi

I had 205/65R15s on a similar setup with the 2L 5.5" Porsche 914 wheels and when I bought new Yokohama Envigor tires this year I got 195/65R15 instead. It seemed to me that the 205's had too much bounce and weight to them. The new tires fill the wheel arch nicely.

I really like the look of 185/80s .
I also like the large diameter for a street car, it makes the stock gearbox a  bit longer..
I run them with wide axle and 40mm drums on 5,5 Rivieras.
