[6pack] TR6 tire size

[BILL WELLBAUM]

I've been running 205/70-15 Kuhmos for some time with no clearance problems. If rubbing at the rear the cheapest solution would be to install spring shims available from Roadster Factory and other suppliers. They might help correct some camber issues at the rear. You could install spring jacks in the front to raise the ride height a bit--or better yet just replace the springs all round.
I prefer the look of the 205/70s as they are closest to the original 185-15 size and really fill out the fender well.

Your results may vary.

I have 205/70/15 and they're kissing the inside of the fender at the 12 o'clock position, when I drive. I know this because a month or so ago I put a little patch of duct tape up in there, and it's showing evidence of being hit by the tires. And, there's a faint but discernible line on the outside shoulder of the tire which I'm guessing is the contact point. I have no idea for how long this has been happening so I don't know if they've been the wrong size for a very long time, or if my suspension has sagged. I suspect the suspension has sagged a bit, but that's a much larger (more expensive) problem then I wish to contemplate. If the overall reaction from all of you is that my tires are much too big, then that's a pretty easy fix, though changing them to avoid a necessary suspension rebuild would be stupid. Thanks to all.
