I'm getting new tires for my bug.
I have 5 spokes.
My car is at stock height.
What size do you all recommend I put on my car?

I was told 135's in the front, and ?? for the back...any thoughts.

please post photos...i don't really want to commit until see what i'm getting myself into.

thanks!!

135's will look goofy on a car that has not been lowered. I would stick with 165 radials all around with stock suspension. If you want something a little wider with stock circumference look at 195/60's.

195/60r15's will be alot wider than stock and bulge out big time on 4.5 width rims and are also a bit smaller overall diameter than stock like an inch... yes the sizes I gave will bulge some as well but not as much as the 195's also the 185/60's will be a little shorter than the 195/60's
