Does anyone have 195/60x15 tyres fitted to 6" rims on a Ghia without modifying the rear guards.

i have 14" cheviot mags to lower it
so the centres are prob different as it takes looong bolts but tyres are as big if not bigger (is also irs 4stud)

195 / 50/ 15 on empi style 5 spokes ...
5.5 wide from memory.....
tried to fit 205's but they rubbed

yeh done 215s once, wore a massive grove in the wall, then 205, slight rubbing still, it really depends on your wheel offsett, no use rolling the wheel arch lip as it hits the inner guard as well
