Doug,
If you choose either large letter Goodyears or Avons you will have some minor fitment issues on your FIA, depending on how low you set-up the car. Mine sits with approx. 3.25” under the Pipes. The Goodyears have a large bulge in the side wall, which will rub on the antiroll be at the 90* bend at close to full lock and a minor rub also at close to full lock at the inside of the front wheel wells. The rears will rub slightly at full compression. After running the Goodyears I bought Avons in the 245 front and 295 rear sizes they also rub in the rear of front wheel well at lock and at full compression, next time I will try the 235’s and 275’s the fit is close enough that I think they will work. One other issue is wheel shake with the Goodyears I believe that some cars can tolerate them better than others. My first car was an ERA 427 now owned by a friend it never had shake issues, my FIA has had issues since new requiring remounting and balancing several times with different sets of tires. I could never get the Goodyears to run with out some shake, however the same tires now run great on the 427. I would prefer the Goodyears for both looks and reduced weight both run great with all the grip you could ask for on the street, in comparison my first tires Dunlaps were like having snow tires
