Wheel Size ?
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

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!!

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.
