The original Grand Sport racers had larger diameter tires in the rear and the original body lines follow the tire height. I want to go modern with 17" but am limited on tire selection. I've seen 315/35zr17 on some replicas but the opening in the wheel wells was way too big with the low profile modern tires. In order to fill the space in the rear wheel wells, I had to find a 315/45zr17 tire which is now out of production. It wasn't easy but I found them. They've been in storage at Good Year's warehouse for eight years. I've been assured that they've been stored in the proper conditions and will be in good shape. Now I pray I never have to replace one...
