My pick of the 15" tyres for street at the moment is Yokohama Avid S/T. Won't find them here in Aus though, will have to buy them directly from the US. Buying from the US is cheaper than buying here anyway.

I have Yokohama Avid S/T 245/60TR15 for front, 295/50TR15 for the rear. 7.5" & 9.5" rims. Haven't driven on them yet though.

If you want the vintage look, you need to run reasonable narrow rims to get the 15" tyres to bag nicely. So for example on the rear, 9.5" is the widest rim I would use with 295 tyres. If you have 265 tyres then I would use 8" wide rim.

Also keep the tyre diameters as large as you can to fill your wheel arches.


For dummy side pipes you can't go past Don @ Snake Bite(QLD). They are a work of art, custom made to correct dimensions for each kit body shape. But I am biased.
