So what is the prefered combos these days for a lowered bug, used to be 165's in the rear, and 135's up front. I am gonna be runnin raders and I think I want a more aggresive look maybe 205-70-15 in the rear or 205 65- 15 not sure if 70's would be to tall. and from what I can tell from a search maybe 145-65-15 up front or 175- 55(or65) -15. lets see your pics of what your runnin, preferably ones with something close to these variations, but all are welcome. thanks

195/50's up front and 225/60's out back. I believe my 5 spokes are a half inch wider than raders though...
