Wheels that you like the look of.
If it's unflared, 7" front and 8" rear, 0 offset all around, should serve you well enough.

Thats a tough decision kinda takes the meat out of muscle car. I took a pic of the spare, can you confirm its original and keeping in mind the odometer has only 67000so k's is it possible the tyre is also original fit. I will have to start new topic to upload pic.

I would like to keep it as original as it is now, eg: Have put Radiator in for new atrad core and to have outer bands restored. Only compromise I did was change from a 2 core to 3 core.

Agree. 205’s will be pizza cutters. I think I’ve got 195’s on a 5.5in rim.

205 60 13 look ok but would only use them where space dictates. But yeh it's a battle trying to find any thing in 13" thst isn't made to suit pahs 6x4 box trailer or Nissan micra daewoogetz etc.

Nankang are doing a 205/60/13 in their AT-1 tyres. 

Surprisingly, on the track they seem at least equal to a Yoky Advan. ( which are beez knees)

They are a little soft, but for occassional weekend drives, car club runs etc you may get some useful life from them. 

They are priced around $200 and although a 90% track tyre, they are road  OK ( I understand).

I used to like the look of wider steel rims so you could get a decent tyre on them then with the hub cap back on.

 

I tried this on mine with just the hub cap sitting in the hotwire and I didnt mind it for something different.

Will these stick out past the guard, bearing in mind I have the SLR500 LH no flared guards

I’d still try and get some 14” rims. Plenty of HK-HG 14x6 mags around and 195/65/14 are easy to get. If you go to 14x7 it gets a bit tougher to buy tyres that work and look OK. I used to run 245/50/14 on my LX hatchback but they did rub on the beach of the front spoiler and you have to flatten the seam on the firewall. That was with 14x7 with 11/32” offset which is 4 11/32” backspace. However they are pretty wide tyres and are about 25mm taller than your 205/60/13 tyres. Even 25mm larger in diameter on the front wheels negatively affects your braking power so you don’t really want to go any bigger in diameter, and I don’t believe there is any readily available tyres in between 195/65/14 and 245/50/14. Probably your best bet is going to be something like a 225/50/15 which is only 5mm taller than 245/50/14. But finding 15x7 in Holden stud pattern in 4.25”-4.35” backspace is going to be hard. You can buy rims like these but they are 4.5” backspace on the 15x7, which should be fine. From memory they will get really close to the tie rods.

With a 0 offset wheel they'll be probably at least a bit close for comfort on the front. 

 

Most just run a 205 up front.

hi all lh/lx toranas look great with 14x6 front and 14x7 rear hot wire mags on an un flaired car    no issues to get tyres       it might pay for you to look a photos of toranas with eg; hot wires or any other type of mag
