I have seen a couple here and there on here but can I get some more pictures of bugs running the small 165/45/15 tires up front? Perferably on stock wheels. I just got mine in and I want to see the fender to tire gap before I mount, thanks

Here is my old '58 with dropped spindles and type 3 wheels.
Then with a 4" narrowed beam with adjusters.
And then with polished 5 spokes with the same tires.

Johnny, Dude, that's terrible!!
A 165/45 is more commonly found on the front of a bus not a bug. I don't think you can get the front of a bug low enough to not make the tire look stupid. Your better off switching those tires for 145/65's. Which is about the best tire out there for a slammed bug.

Haha. Im still debating wether or not I want to run these tires. I ordered them without much research on the tires . So Im wanting to get a idea on how they look before I mount them. |
