Default 205/60R15 tires on my 911?

What do you guys think of putting 205/60R15 tires on my '76 911 with 7X15 Fuchs?

They should be a slightly smaller overall diameter than the original and it doesn't LOOK like they'll rub with the extra width (i hope)...

Any input would be great!

Thanks,

Jeff

Thanks for the info! They're being mounted as I type this...

BTW, I'm so glad that I took the time to remove the wheels from the car and just drop the wheels off at the shop. Now I don't have to worry about anyone destroying my 915 tranny moving the car around the lot!

The lighting in the garage wasn't very good...but I just ran down and snapped a few...

Wow...that last pic makes me realize how overdue for a garage cleaning I am!
