205/60/15 on SA?
 
Will 205/60/15 fit ok on an SA?
Or does it need to be lower profile than a 60 tire?

Thanks in advance.

I run a 205/50-15 size....even that size tends to rub occassionally during hard cornering..but I have a GSL-SE ..but from experience I would run a lower profile esp with a 205 width

Those 205/60/15 will most likely fit in the rear of any 1st gen, but the front will work better with a 195/60 or 205-50. All of this assumes you have the offset optimized.

I am running 205/50/15 on the front of my 84, and 225/50/15 in the rear, no problems. Of course if you lower the car you may cause yourself some problems with these larger tires.

running 205/60/15 in the rear is awesome. gives you a little more gear :D

Well i got 195 x 50 x 16 on mine, they rub on big bumps but otherwise a good fit i'll get a photo later for you guys. It's an 82 Australian delivered car. The only good tyre is a burnt one!!!!! light em up.
