Paul,
I just put 15x7 Panasports on my B. Tried to fit 205x60HR15 tires, but ran
a little to close to the sides. Went down to 195x60HR15 and seemed to give
enough clearance...but, on the ride home notice the tires rubbed. Fix was
to take a 1 3/4" dowel and roll back the underside lip of the fender (can't
notice it).
185x65HR15 should go on w/ no problem. Would suggest the 15X6 wheels in
this case.
Tires were the Pirelli P6000 Sport. Difference in handling is unbelievable.
And, IMHO rolling the lip wasn't to drastic and worth the extra handling.
