1973 Beetle tyre scrubbing


Hi all,

I recently got my 1973 bug lowered 2.5 inches at the front using drop spindles. I have stock wheels with 165 80 r15 tyres on them and the tyres scrub against the guards when a do a sharp turn. What can I do to stop the scrub? Will smaller tyres help? Please let me know.

Thank you

John
