In 1988 I put 15x7 Riken STX wheels with 195/60R15's Riken tires on my '66
1600. I had to put some spring lifts on the back springs to reduce the
rubbing. It still will rub on turns up an incline as mentioned although
this isn't a big deal. Perhaps I would go with a slightly smaller
tire/wheel combination next time. See if you can try the combo before you
buy. Haven't heard much about Riken tires before this, anyone else using
them? Any comments? Mine are still in good shape with about 10000 miles.
