I have these original 15x8 wheels that I really hope to use.....but, does anyone know if they will fit without flaring the fenders??? This is where I need some advice...What tires are available ?? I'd rather have treads, but maybe some type of cheater slicks? Do they make such a thing for the front and rear in a road course tire??
Has anyone built a car with these wheels that can give some advice??? Thankssssss

For tyres I would try the Goodyear Vintage Bluestreaks. They are DOT legal if I remember right. They do have tread and are very sticky. They also have the blue stripe in them. The next option would be to use the Hoosier Street TD. It has tread and is also very sticky. On a race course, it is a faster tyre than the Goodyear. The Goodyears look really cool though. YS-199 needs a new set of rubber and I am going to go with the Goodyears. I have put just enough lights, etc on it to make it street legal and will license it later this year--then it will get the vintage Bluestreaks.
