Well after a long time, I settled into a 215/65-15 front on a 7" wheel and a 245/60-15 rear on an 8.5" wheel on our FIA replica.

Im happy, the car tracks well (with 0 toe), enters, and exits well (for me). In hindsight, the only change I'd make, is swapping out the 245/60's for 255/60's; purely for aesthetics.

The 215/65 front is quite similar to the 6.70 original and the 245/60 (and 255/60) rear are quite similar to the 8.20 original.

I realize most of the current FIA replicas are running 7.5”/9.5” wheels. I feel 235/60-15 (and 245/60-15) and 295/50-15 are very decent as well matching the current SCCA AP race sizing quite well.?
