This maybe a silly newbie question, but...

Can I run 195/60/15 tires on EMPI style 8 spoke wheels without clearance or rubbing issues on a 71 Super with stock width fenders? I know the tires will fit the wheels, but I'm worried about fiting them properly under stock fenders. Don't want to spend the money and be wrong. I've found nothing definate by searching the forums.

Thanks,

Eric

Mine's a standard and i have no problem with 195/60-15 on Porsche 5.5x15 alloys. My front is also dropped 3" still with no problem.

i have 225's and they work fine at stock height.. though i will have to get smaller tires or wider fenders when or if i go to lower it..

195/60 15 on empi 8's on front and 225/70 15 on empi 8's on rear ... lowered 2' in front ... fit fine!
