    These are the best I have right now. I know the front will have to be raised some and the back end will lower with the engine in. It’s a tight fit between the front tire and rear edge of the bumper. I’m not entirely sure if everything can be adjusted so the car looks good and nothing scrubs.

    The size of your tyres looks good actually. I'm now convinced that 205/70x15 is also a good option for 7R Fuchs (at the rear).

    Your car is the same colour as mine. Thanks for the pics.

    I’ve looked at the 205/70 (same diameter as the 185VR) and I also think they’d be a good fit on a 7R.

    I’m still a few months out from getting the engine back in and everything set up suspension wise but I also like the look.

    The 911R looks to have high profile tires like 185/15 or similar in ". But these were rather high and also had widened arches.

    Well, spirited driving make the high profile tires stretch!
