Alex, I'm not sure, they are 15's but I'll have to measure the width, thanks for the comments but the picture is deceptive, it needs paint, int, etc. it is under deconstruction at this time, but in time it will be restored, I'm leaving the L88 flares and Daisy's for sure.

L88 flares and Daisys are classic and go perfect together.
Finally got it done... 8,5 x 15 with 235/70/15 (back), 225/70/15 (front) . And yes, they do NOT clear the original brake calippers. I had to get the backside of the spokes from each wheel machined (notched) partially 2.5mm, and I had to use front/back 5mm hub centric spacers that i had custom made by SCC (German Wheel Adapter/Spacer manufacturer). I also used Extended thread lug nuts. So in order for the TTO's to fit with a early C3 you Need an additional 7,5mm of space. Some may say why didnt you use 8mm spacers all around to begin with. Well, I didnt want for the wheels to stick out too far. Thats just my taste... It turned out nice I think, here are some Pictures... I really dig the vintage look!
That looks nice. I've been considering these for my '71 coupe.
On these wheels, do you think that a wider tire would fit the the rear, or would it stick out?
I'm thinking 275 in the rear and 255 in front, both on the 18x9.
If I'm correct, that would put the outer edge of the tire out about 1/2" further than yours, and the inner edge of the tire would be about 1/2" closer to the frame rail.
