Tire Size Info

[Guest Jolly John]

I have just purchased a set of the wider steel wheels for my 1963 Avanti, as advertised by the vendor in "Turning Wheels". I want to put a set of P205 tires on the car. My question.....does the P205/75R15 profile tire best match the original Avanti tire height, or would the P205/70R15 be closer in profile height? Thanks, John in Wisconsin

P215/75 R15 is the closest match, I run Pirelli P400's look right on the car and the Tire Rack price was very reasonable.
