My '77 narrow body would look better with some tires that fill the width of the car better.
Has anyone experimented and found the perfect offset and treadwidth for pre-SC bodies? I once bought 7 x 15 Fuchs that rubbed with 205 60s. Sold those and put 6 x 16s all around with little 40 series tires.

Hi Chris,
Back when my 75 911S was narrow body, the best I could do was run the 7x15 911R wheels in back with 215/55-15 tires and 205/60-15 in front on 6x15s. Then, I found the fuchs 7x16 that were only run on the 1986 944 turbo-these have a different offset than the std 16" fuchs found on 911s. I put 7x16s all the way around with 205s on the front and 225s on the back-though i did have to roll the rear fender lips. I used these for track wheels/tires and the 15s as street wheels. The 911R wheels are VERY expensive, like $1500 each or more!!
