Pman,

I'm using the same size wheel and tire combination from Vintage Wheel on my SPF as the E-Bay auction. They fit good, look good and the tires don't rub. I bought the full polish set from Vintage Wheel.

I am running the Nitto NT05 tires which are a HUGE improvement over the 15" Goodyear tires that were originally installed. The 555's have a 300 treadwear rating, the NT05's have a 200 rating and the NT01's have a 100 rating. The NT05 tires hook very well, most of the time, depending on the road surface and temperature. I'm a little over 500 horsepower, TKO 600 and 3.46 gears.

Definitely a summer tire-they flat spot after sitting, do a pretty good job of throwing rocks onto the rear fenders and are not real happy when the temperature is in the 30's and 40's! You might want to check into the "R" compound Nitto tires for the rear of your SPF.
