I have access to a nice set of Pirellis to put on my Americans for the "S". There have been times that I have thought that a 205/60 looks just a little chubby on a lowered car. Has anyone ever run a 195/60?

This may not directly answer your question but I use 195/65 on my 1970 911S. They look a lot skinnier than the 205/60 but they are closer to original so I like them.
Dave,
Our own Early S board member, Fred Stewart, has 195x60x15''s on his beautiful Signal Orange 67'S ... on deep 6's with AVS Intermediates
It looks PERFECT !!!!!
I am running 205/60 15s and you are right that they look chubby. There also is a tiny bit of rear fender rub on hard cornering (non-rolled). But I like the look and the contact patch.
195/65 on the deep dish 7's here. Why? 205's rub...plus look weird to me.
PWD are you saying you can not go bigger than the 195 65 on the R wheels without rubbing on a SWB car? I am tire shopping for my 7s now. Thanks,
Best,

Don,
Paul has the later 7's.....
I'm running 225/50's on my R's on the rear of my 67S, fender lips are rolled, zero rubbing.

Eric nailed it, mine are the later "deep" 7's, with the offset to the outside. "R" wheels are a different thing completely...
Eric also claims to have seen someone riding a Zero Halliburton brief case as a sled this week. You may want to reconsider his opinions. :D
Tom
Thanks Eric,
What do you think I can fit on the R wheels on my 68? I do not want to roll the fenders. I am trying to buy some race rubber but would like to go taller than a 50 series. Could you please post a picture anyway of your car as 50s may be my only choice. Thanks again for your help.
Best,
Don
