Next round of tires I believe I'm going a different route. The chrome wheels I have are nice but I want solid white wheels, no holes, have not decided on 15x5.5 or 15x4.5....
Background info....
I currently have the equivalent of a 165/80-15 on the 356. My Ghia has 185/55-15. Now the Ghia is on air ride front and rear with dropped spindles and a 4" narrowed beam. I can drop it to the ground and not rub until I turn hard. I use the Ghia for reference because the body lines are so close in appearance. I have been planning on 15x5.5 for the 356 but might just entertain 15x4.5. The 356 has an adjustable front beam.
Plans....
I do not plan on going with air ride on the 356. I am going to bring the back down to level out the ride, the rear sits too high for me. Will it need dropped spindles? I dont think it will due to the already adjustable beam (unless it is cranked all the way down) and going to a smaller side wall tire, allowing me to use a 15x4.5 if I chose. I dont need to have the widest rear tire, I'm more looking to reduce the sidewall flex, be more responsive on the steering, bring the 356 down a more respectable height with a more aggressive look, fill the wheel wells with wheel not tire and last keep the performance.
That said.....
I'm looking to do a 15x5.5 or 15x4.5 with a 155/60-15. Dropped spindles? Not sure yet.
I would like to see pics with a description of your suspension, wheel size and tire size. Of course opinions, ideas and conversations are always appreciated.
