Mine are 15x6 Panasports... With 205/60 15 BFG Comp TA HR
radials the edges of the tread are are still covered by
fender... at the top. The Panas have been on the car for about
11 years. I've been really happy with them. I wouldn't
recommend going to a 7" width though, you may have problems
with the tires rubbing on the frame on tight turns (like trying
to park or pulling a "u-ey".
on the frame.
