I get this question all the time. I have been running 72 spoke 6" stainless
Dayton wheels with 195 70 15 Vrederstien tires  for the last 10 years and
love the way the car looks and rides. We have installed many sets of this
combination, we also have used a 72 spoke 5" to bring the tire in a little
on the front wheels. There is no rubbing problem with either of these
combinations. 

If you want to see how it looks my car is on the cover of British Wire
Wheels newest catalog as well as it is on there web site.
