Hi All, I know there are many threads on tire sizes, but I'm still not sure exactly what size will fit so I wonder if anyone has a definitive answer?
I just acquired a set of 15" Silverstone IIs for my 66 Mk1A w/stock body [fenders not rolled] and suspension. Wheels are 6" wide with 24mm offset. My thinking for the front is 195/50 and 205/55 for the rear....that is, 50 profile in the front so as to avoid any clearance issues w/the lower valance and 55 in the rear to give it a slight rake and fill the wheel well. I would also experiment w/1/4" spacer on the rear to bring the tire out a little.
Looking for feedback on this strategy...has anyone tried anything similar?
All feedback is appreciated. Thanks!
