are you talking strut or beam??
Both came out in 1974

I am running 205 55 series 16" 50ET 6" rim on the front and 225 50 series 16" 40ET 7" rim on the rear
All under stuck guards on a 75 L bug

I am running thin spring struts though

It all depends what the ET is of your wheels

Hi Bizzare, I have beam in my 1974 and like to use same size, would 215/60 15r fit nicely on those 15x6 rims or do i have to go in smaller size thanks
