I am running Yokohama A509  185 60HR13 tires on my '74 Spit, but I am not
qualified to comment because I have a GT6 engine in it which weighs down
the front significantly.  I have had a couple MINOR scrapes but more from
"bottoming out" of the spit springs than a clearance problem.   That size
tire just barely fits the wheels, so don't try going any larger!
