    Looks like a 1989 328GTS with stock wheels, so I'm guessing the tires are stock also. As you may be aware, the late 1988s also known as 88.5s got convex alloy wheels instead of concave style alloys.

    Best regards,

    Same here. I believe that stock rear tires were 225/55'S and the fronts were 205/55's. I have the stock size on the fronts but have 245/45's on the rear. Thats what was on the car when I bought it, liked the way it handled so when it was time to replace them I kept the same sizes.

    Oh, thank God! Now that you told me, I can tell it's a bra. At first I thought it was really bad fiberglass work.

    Your avatar is very nice, too! I love that view of the car.
