user 70823244 is a splendid one to behold

I've got 16x7's on my '90 VW MK2 GLI, the Tires are 205/55-16's, so that does sound right to me. You could always ask over on the Bird Board, or on Rennlist

good luck!

ok thanks. it will be a bit different with the tire sizing from mk2 vw to porsche. i don't want to stretch the tires, but have a nice profile that will let me keep the car low without tearing up the tires by rubbing.

damon@tirerack has a reputation beyond repute

Not much room in the back of a 78 SC. Stay 205/225.
