What is the correct size tire & rim for a 73 Bug?
55

Asked by spookshowbaby73 Feb 17, 2012 at 12:31 AM about the Volkswagen Beetle

Question type: Car Customization

The tires on it now are 16's I believe, and they rub the inside fenders on teeny
bumps!

It has more to do with the wheel offset or width. OEM is about 205 in width and a zero offset rim. Use the tirerack.com fitment application
