I would stick to a 205 if I were you. If you call Sam he has my wheels & tyres at the mo and he'll be able to tell you what they are. They fit very well and are about as big as you could want. I'm sure they're a 205/70. Title: Re: Any pics of some Bugs with 225/65's or 225/60's under stock rear arches?

To be completely honest, I don't even like 205/70s - they're just too big. It's the one thing on modern cal lookers that I don't like. I wish someone made an affordable, period looking 185/70 - that would fill the arches but still be reasonably sized to look right with a 145 up front, and it's only 1/8" smaller diameter than a stock 165.
