Has anyone used Vick Autosport 15" Pro-Race 1 Wheels?

Hi guys

I'm looking at the Vick Autosport 15" Pro-Race 1 wheels for my '76 Spider. They are towards the bottom of their catalog on page 51. I really like the look, but am concerned about going from 13" to 15" wheels. I've seen posts that mention it may not be best to go larger than 14" with stock suspension. I would plan on using a 205/50/15 tire which should get me real close to the same outside diameter as the stock tire/wheel combo. Has anyone had any experience with setup? does anyone have any pictures of them installed?

Thanks for the info

Josh

Hi there. I and I believe a number of members are running 205-50-15 on our fiats. Mine are Toora wheels but I suspect they would all be similar. Mine is on a post May 13 "out of the paint shop". I had IAP stiffer springs and chopped 1 coil rear and left the fronts alone as the lower member in the suspension was at an approx 5-10 deg slope upwards where ideal evidently is parallel with the road.

These are a two-piece 15 x 7 Simmons V4 wheel (Aussie after-market wheel originally intended for Alfettas), I'm using 205/50/15 tyres and although the car is lowered somewhat, there are no clearance problems.
