Some of our guys in Melbourne have 15" x 7" using 205x60s but check to make sure that you have enough room to do this! Some have rolled the front guards too to get the clearance and if your car has already been lowered, then check twice as 205s may be a little too wide and may therefore fowl on the inner guard! They do look very nice on the Capri and I'd suggest that you at least get the 14" ones instead of the standard 13", though 15" ones do look very good too!

my escort has 205/60 13" on it and we rolled the front guards on it before it got lowered. and they fowled really bad right on the inner corner of the guard. so best to get the edges rolled... and i reckon (f) 15 x 6 and (r) 15 x 7 just for a look :P. my oppinion though
