Recently I bought a (one owner car) 1974 Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 MFI in very good shape with 47780kms (30000 miles) and I am not sure that the Fuchs wheels and the tires it has fitting are the right ones, I would like to install the stock tire sizes on it to keep him as when was new.
Any one here could help me with the OEM wheels and tires specifications that it must has? Thank you in advance!

6ET36 & 7ET23.3 x15 185/70 & 215/60, current Pirelli classic CN 36 would be the closest match
The car looks to have 7 ET23.3 & 8ET10.6, but it's hard to tell from the picture
gold colored wheel center w/ white paint was correct
I did a little more digging on this, I had always thought that '76 was the first year where 7ET23.3 & 8ET10.6 were options,that was what came on my '76 Carrera, but I came across a magazine article form circa 1974 that stated that the 7 & 8 x 15 was also an option on '74 Carreras
Additionally PET lists 7 & 8x 15 for '74-75 2.7 Carrera
so I need to amend my answer above and say 7ET23.3 & 8ET10. x15 was oe, tires were still the same as for sure '76 was the first year 205/50 & 225/50 x15 were options on those wheels
That’s a beautiful car and your a lucky man to find it. Those wheels are definitely the wheels the car came with but those mirrors definitely are not. Especially the one on the passenger side.
I have an original 74 Carrera that I have known since 1975 that owned by a friend and actually was lucky enough to have owned it twice now and I had thought to install a mirror on that door back in 1985 when he sold it to me and before I sold it back to him but he told me that if I did that he wouldn’t be interested in buying the car back if and when I decided it was time so I didn’t do it and now that I own the car again for the past 4 years I am glad I didn’t.

Beautiful car, so it did come w/ 7 & 8 x15? I assume the tires were 185/70 & 215/60?
