I'm considering taking off the Fuchs/A008's for fall/pre-salt winter driving and putting on some Michelin all season 215/60s on 7x15 Cookies all around.
I know the backs will work, how about the fronts? Anyone ever done this? Pics?

Depends on your car and how low it is. We run 7's all the way around (fuchs or cookies 225 x 50 x 15 ) Had to roll them a little for the track but if its just a street car you might not have to depending on how high it sits and with your tires you might not have too.
car is set-up 24.5 at the rear. 24.75 in the front. deep 6s with 215/60 in the rear and 195/65 in the front.

Not the best pictures but you get the idea. When we lowered it its real low it more than you would ever put on a street car.
car looks fast, thanks for posting.
I think it will work. hoping this guy in VT comes down a little on a nice set.

Ahhhh the sixties... I envision myself one early Saturday morning wearing plaid shorts, black shoes with white socks smoking a cigarette heading to the hardware store to buy a bag of nails.
SWB cars are an acquired taste however once acquired theirs no turning back.
They will work, but could be tight - each car is different. I've run 215/60s on 7x15 cookies before. Front should be no problem except possible rubbing lock-to-lock.

Thanks Joe, I'm thinking I should grab the set in VT now.
here's the car now. I'm tempted to lower the rear a little more, maybe down to 24". The current 215s should fit fine.
