My 911 came to me on 16" wheels, which i've never been 100% happy with , just thinking about putting it back on to some 15" x 5.5 .
What size tyres are people running ?
( Originality being second to efficiency for me

A 72 911T should be on 6 x 15s, not 5.5 x 15 (which you won't find easily anyway) on 185/70 tyres. There is absolutely no need to go for a bigger tyre size. Apart from the original 6" Fuchs there are Cookie Cutters, Minilites, steel and Dage Compomotive rims which are all much cheaper than Fuchs
