Avon tire sizes for my Kirkham, per a posted recommendation from Tom Kirkham, would be 245/60-15 and 275/55-15. If I desired more rear tire, then I could go to a 295/50-15 for the rear.
It doesn't take a genius to figure out that bigger wheels mean MORE aluminum and bigger tires means MORE rubber, ergo MORE total weight. And the Law of Diminishing Returns (and appearance) would apply to the performance benefits, if any, of increasing wheel and tire sizes for the authentic-appearing Cobra replicas.
