|
|
I just purchased some 165R15's Nakanang brand tires. And I was wondering at around stock pressure, what size rim would offer the least amount of flex at the bottom of the tire. I want it as small as possible as I wanna try white wall inserts, and want to prevent as much rubbing as possible.
I understand the stock rims for beetles were offered from 4" to 4.5" to 5.5" depending on the wheel/year. But since I'm not trying to match year, I just want a nice 5 lug wheel, that will minimize flexing. Thanks in advance.
