[T3] Tire sizes


Ken,
I cannot directly relate since I am not using factory rims, but maybe
this will help anyway.
I have 2000 Porsche Boxster 16x7 wheels on my 69 Fasty.  They are 40mm
offset.  I have 195/50/16 in front and 205/50/16 in rear.  My car is
low.  This setup fits snug but fits.  I still want to trim back the
rear bump stop receiver a bit, but other than that, I did no other
clearance work.  I did install rear disc brakes though, but they did
not change the distance of the wheel mounting surface.
Also, with the 195/50/16 in front, my speedo is correct (according to
friends that have driven along with me in new vehicles).
