Beautiful car. Tire/wheel sizes?

This forum needs a "want" button ;)

Very nice indeed. Don't change a thing.

215/65R15 on 7's front and 8's rear.

I'm thinking of changing to 205's on the rear and 185's on the front, and going to 7s and 6s on the wheels.

I have 185/65R15 on front and 235/60R15 on rear and I like the look. The change you suggest would be great!

The fronts are actually original Fenton Gyro's. Pretty hard to find. They are super lightweight!
