Can anyone help me with this? I am planning on installing falken ZE 329 205/65/15 on 5.5 chromies for my 64 bug. My question is, would I have problems with rubbing? I want it to be tucked inside the fender well and not under the lip or sticking out. I need some advice before I go and purchase them and be stuck with it. I am contiplating a slightly smaller tire.

I'm assuming this is going on the rear? How low is your car?

The front has not been lowered and the rear is about an inch from the top of the tire to the lip of the fender.
