I was wondering if a 205/75/15 will fit my bug with out issues.

Rear Susp. is stock, 1.5'' wider fenders and 15 X 6 wheel

If not what would be the largest rear tire

Thanks

I have 205 on the rear of my stock squareback. With 1.5" wider fenders I'd think you'd need 225+ to fill your fenders. Have the tire dealer mount up 2-3 different sizes for you to pick from.

Yes Indeed, I went to Discount tire in Palm Bay and the fit perfectly. I ended up with 205/75/15 on the rear and 195/50/15 on the front
