Aftermarket chrome VW-type 15x5.5's with Toyo Proxes 195-50's fit beautifully on my '69. The front left has rubbed on me one time, and that was from reversing full-left-lock out of an angled parking space on a ~30 degree decline in Coupeville. Yea, I remember it well. :-] Made/makes me want to pull a Shad-style tuck-n-roll on all of the fenders. I'm actually still considering it, as I have yet to finish the body/paint work. Shad, or anyone, care to comment on the complexity and/or adverse effects of the tuck-n-roll? You can see what the wheels look like on my site, although the car is in the air in the pics. It's the top left pic.
