Hey everyone, I was just curious as to what the best overall wheel and tire size for a 72 sport might be. currently I have the original 14" Magnum 500's with 245/60/14 mounted on them. How is this? Can I fit 15's, 16's, or even 17's? I dont want to look stupid, but I know that larger tires can help performance, braking, and mileage. Any help would be great. Thanks again. Corey

Mate I had the same size tyres on the 78 ZH and put 225/60 15" alloys on. The larger the rim size the lower the profile you need which can lead to a harsher ride
