I have a 1969 beetle with 4 inch narrowed beam four wheel disk breaks and drop spindles. I bought 5.5 rims with 3 7/8 back space. The car will be lowered but not to far because I have ac. Just want to level it out. Due to 3.44 rp I’m limite to 24 inch tall tire max which is easy. What I am trying to figure out is how wide of tire I can put all the way around same size. I like to rotate lol

Plug some tire sizes in here and see what will work.

Everything from 135s to 205/50s and everything in between. Pick a tire you want and plug it into the calculator and see if it will fit. OR start brousing the late model forum in the suspension/wheel threads and see what people are running.
