I have a 74 Ghia with 16x6 1/2 wheels, I believe a 36 offset and running 205/45/16 The tires are Yoko Parada's and I have had NO rubbing on the rears and the front I had to adjust the stop bolts in about 3/16" so the front tire would not hit the beam. And now I have NO rubbing on the fronts. I oiginally had 20/50/16 and the front tires tucked in great be the problem was turning the steering wheel to a fully locked position and going over a bump at the same time. The tire would rub the fender lip. Also my 3/4" sway bar no longer works. Most likely have to get a "over the top" sway bar.
Its all about tire combinations.....
The problem isnt the rim size because the tire section width only grows approx. .2 for every 1/2 the rim gets smaller or larger. Example 205/45/16 with a section width of 8.0 on a 6 1/2 wide rim, on a 7" rim the section width is 8.2. I searched for a month before I finally found a tire that would work for me. Try and find the tire with the smallest section width because 1/8" makes all the difference in the world. Expecially when fitted on a ghia.
