Have an opportunity to get a good deal on a set of Phoenix 7" slicks. was wondering about how well they fit in a beetle sedan with EMPI style five spokes? ( 3 3/4 backspace I think)
The spec show a cross section of 9".

I use 26X6X15 Phoenix on my drag car and they are a tall tire. 6" not 7". If I would let the suspension compress they would rub the lip of the fender. Any larger tire would would not fit.

Thanks,
That's interesting. I would think the 6" wouldn't be a problem.
I have not seen Phoenix 6" anywhere. Cocker Tire sells Phoenix but they only show the 7" as the smallest slick.
Guess I'll stick with my M&H DOT's for now.
Thanks again,
