    I am running original finish fuchs, 15x7s, 205/60 s, like the look, but there is just a hint of rubbing on really big dips at the right rear. When i had 195/65s on the 15x7s, there was no rubbing at all.

    205/50/16 is another size that works well. At 24" tall it fits easier than the 205/55/16.

    I've got a pair of 951 7x16 wheels that I'm willing to sell if anyone's interested.

    On my narrow 73 I tried 7X16s and they were too close (read some rubbing) even with smaller tires. I went to 6X16s all the way around. Plenty of clerance and good tire selection in stock dia. I even tried 225/50s on the 6s and they cleared. The 7s only had enough room when we added a inch to the inside making them 8s. Then they still only had room for the 205/55s. The 6s don't look as cool but they work the best. With a lot of camber and stiff suspension the 7s will fit. Too close for the street set up. IMHO
