  View original topic: tire size on a 68 bug once again
mike1954 Tue Mar 13, 2012 12:07 am

I know here we go again. I have a 68 bug 3 inch narrow beam with 2.5 drop spindles. The gentleman before me did not put adjusters in the beam. I was offered a great deal on 165/50/15 for the front and 195/60/15 on the back. I'm considered the front may be too low. Also the guy has 185/60/15 as well. I want the front low but not too low that I'm scraping everywhere I go. Any suggestions from the bug guy's would be Great.

Buy pairs of good used tires First and run them for a couple months/years. :idea:

I run the old-school "Cal-Look" standard 145R15's on the front of my '68 Beetle with 2.5" dropped spindles...no rubbing when turning. Here's a photo, also with 195/65's on the back:
