Fortunately, my local tire dealer has been nice enough to mount one tire on a
rim and let me test it to determine if it would rub.  I have a 1966 SPL-311
original...... with Panasports, 15 mm offset 15 inch rims.  I tried the 195/55
x 15 but they look too small in height.  The 195/60 x 15 look much better.  My
question is that on the rear wheels, the fender just misses the tire.  I have
a little less then 1/2 inch clearance from the fender.  The height looks good.
I attached a picture but I don't think that it will help much.

Do you think that ~ 3/8" clearance is enough clearance.

Thanks

Ivin
