Hey,
Is anyone here running these size tyres on the rear of their bug? Any pictures for examples would be great!

Sounds a bit high profile to me. I think std is 165/75r15. Suggest you use an online tyre calculator from there if you want to keep your gearing right.

To skip ahead they will be fitted to 6" widened stock rims.
