Who makes a 165/60, Ive searched tire rack,discount and 1010 tires(think thats what they are called) and I could not find any. Does that size exist?
I was thinking about my rims which are 4.5" wide, with a bad offset.The 195's make the offset worse so I was thinking if I could go with a different size thats not narrow like a 145,135 or 125/15 for the front maybe the future narrowing kit i buy later down the road (2" narrow) will look better and then lower it. I cant run disc brakes with these rims though but oh well, and i was thinking of skipping the drop spindles since they change the offset, I want the full 2" narrow lol
Unless you guys know of a tire thats similar in width and height that will fit a 4.5" wide rim no problem.
I been playing with this

and the 165/80 and 165/60 would be same width just different height. _________________ 1972 Standard Beetle
