Ok, so i'm getting some new tyres for my notch.. i have a choice, to put them on the set of widened originals i have (15x5.5 i think) or to put them on the stock width originals.
Whats your opinion? I can't decide. :cry

I dont think the nice rears/cheesecutter fronts look is going to look quite right on that notch!

THIN MIGHT BE IN, BUT FATS WHERE ITS AT!
ive just finished putting widies (unfortunately 14inchers) on mine, ride is more absorbent, puskhes harder into corners, brakes more stably, and once i got the tyre size sweet (195/70/14 on the rear and 175/75/14 on the front for me) she looks so sweet that people have to take a second look at the wheels even thougth the rest of the car looks like crap. silver or black rims with caps and chrome dress rings looks great 😎

just put 5.5 mangels on mine, with 175x65-15's all round. looking at the clearance anything wider would have been right on the guard. but i am lowered.😵😵
Go wide eberytime.. My '65 Type 1 sits low squat and wide at the back..

http://www.dogfightclothing.comOk.. i was thinking 185 width tyres but maybe i'll go 175.
I'm probably gonna paint them black with porsche nipple caps 😀
I painted my stock rims black the other day... looks really cool i think!
(And yes, i know the front panel is a different colour, and theres a dent in the passenger door... yada yada yada) *sigh*
Don't go too wide on a type three. Nothing looks worse than big ballloon tyres on an old dub. The tyre shops always try to talk you into wider tyres because they've got lots- don't listen to them.....
Ok, so 185's the max i should go?
185s don't look too fat on the front. If you get a decent set of them the difference in braking and handling over stock will be huge provided they don't scrub.
