Hi all just want to know what rim & tyre size would I have to use to realy slam my Type 3. I have 6 x 14 hotwires with 195 tyres at the moment but realy like the 8 spoke empi's.
There is definatly not enough room to run my current wheels with the car any lower.
Any help would be cool.
Chhers Nige

it is all to do with off set

i was running 14 x 165's on the front and it was rubbing
i am now running 16 x 195 and dropped 4"

135 15's at the front, 185 15's rear, on stock rims!!!! go all the way down on a type 3!!!! Get the whitewall treatment and it will look even sweeter!!!

Cheers N!

I agree with Necter 8 spokes are cool but stockies can look mad too.

Do ya think crome std rims or colour code with car. Is it easy to get hub caps? I
realy want to go the low sleeper look.

Cheers Nige

Painted wheels with beauty ring and hubcap, whitewalls! BRILLIANT!!
Caps are easy to get, but Beauty ings not so easy!!! With the colour of the wheels, depends what colour the car is!!

Look for dress rings from a Mercedes.

on my notch i have 135's and 165's on standard painted rims(chrome caps of course!) and it cant go any lower! i love the look although the new tyres havent been whitewalled yet! i had a certain tyre company beach the car on there hoist after i told them to use a scissor jack and not the hoist, didnt even appologise or look for damage took them 2 hours to change 2 tyres!! but then again i would love some chrome empi 8's! and the notch is going lower!

Lowdown that sounds cool but what profile tyes are you runing and with a low profile do you have to make the suspention soffter to stop your eyes ratling out if ya drive on rough bitumen. When I do this I don't want to hate the ride.
