I have a stock 71 super, stock rims. what is the biggest size tire i can run on both the front and back, i want wide tires for the rears.

700X15 sold in the vw mags are tall and skinny. You might have a rub when steering. I think 235's in back and 205 or 215's on the front is an good setup for non Baja's. You might have to raise the rear 1 lick. Good Luck. :)

I've got 195-65-15's all the way around on my 71 Super. Riviera rims.

Nice ride, nice look, no problems.

Are you talking street or dirt tires?

I'm running 135X15 fronts and 225X65 rears mounted on American Racing, aluminum 8 spokes. The front is dropped 4.5" on the front and a 3" drop on the back.
