Let's see what everyone thinks. What's the ultimate setup for tire and wheel sizing on a lowered Bug (early) I mean anything 1967 or earlier.
(Nothing wrong with 68up but not here).

Let's see pictures and please includes completer specs.
(I.E. what size wheel front and rear and what size tire and brand fr/rr, Also how much did you lower and narrow the beam if any).

Here's mine

Image may have been reduced in size. Click image to view fullscreen.


15x4.5 Fuchs with 135r15 Michelin front
15x6 Deep 6 Fuchs with 205/70r15 Michelin rear
4" narrowed beam with disc brakes on front
Don't know rear just about as low as possible on rear
