Looking for tyre options
I have a set of 5 x 15'' rims and are looking for some tyre options for a late model swinger that is lowered but not crazy lowered. Any suggestions?
I've read 135 and 165 combo but am a bit reluctant to go the 135 plus doubt my rim width would allow anyway.

I've just purchased some new rims and tyres and i think from memory they are 165 x 50 x 15 front and 215 x 65 x 15 rear. Rim type can play a part as
offsets can vary

I run 165/15 and 135/15 on my low 66 beetle, sometimes can be fun around corners or pulling up with the drums as they make a sqeal pulling up.
all in all sits well on standard beetle rims. maybe next time I would go 145...

Yeh same for 145s. I was going for the 185 rear just for a bit more rubber on road.
What profile on your 165s

I think 80's mate, next time around I will be going wider prob 185's as well, like the fat look at rear, plenty of clearance by the looks.
the height on mine is about 140mm at the side board runners.

145 nankang up front great tyre , good klm's , on rear tall (70) for high speed (cal look style) . I think nankangs don't have a 70 but a 65 tall
would be fine .
My chose wider the better on rear , Rods has 205 /70's bridgestone's ( standed high on rear suspension )

Yeah i personally like the phat rear tyre look . I just went with 165 on front as i feel a bit more safer with a little bit more tyre on the ground as
i'll be driving this as a daily. i also like when the rear chamber out as well.
