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 |
