Rolling 145 smart or 145? (Firestones it will be for the next 2 years at least!)
Felix/DFL:
hmmmh,I personaly like the 145/65 !
That`s how they look on a 5.5 fuchs:
I don`t think that a tiresize really says if it`s cal or not...
But decide self...

But you have to go LOW otherwise there is too much space.Sadly I have got no pic on a beetle.
Best greetings,Felix
Diederick/DVK:
Yeah, i suppose this dutch oval is a good example:
very low up front and even raised 1 spline in the back (seriously!)
it's just that the smart tyres are so easy to get here... and everywhere i go they can't supply firestone 145s anymore...
p.s. do the mirrors, apart from the tyres, exclude him even more for cal-look?
Zach Gomulka:
That car is more "Resto-Cal" then "Cal-Look", IMHO.
And you said it- you must lower the front alot to get the tire to fill the wheel opening. Cal Look should be lowered sensibly, not exessively. I feel a standard 145 height tire (appox 24") does this perfectly.
Also, a 175/65 fits a 4.5" rim beautifully!
Diederick/DVK:
yeah, i guess the robri set and right mirror blew his chances :P
175/65 is a good alternative, problems is i wanna stick to my 165 Firestones a bit longer... So, none of you guys using 145/65?
I might be able to get my hands on some second hand michelin XZX 145, how's that? Or are those dangerous old ...?
Zach Gomulka:
XZX's are a great cal look tire! I will be using them on my GTV beetle- 145/165.
