I've got stock rims (4.5 inches wide) on my 58 Bus,

If I have 185/55/15 Front Tires with 3 1/2 inch drop spindles and on the back I have a 68 Bug Long axle transmission.


What are the best size tires to run in the back?



I am thinking of running 195/65/15s in the back (I want to have a pretty high diameter tire on the rear so I can still maximize the engine/ speed),
but am concerned about the narrow 4 1/2 inch rims and the trying to match the back tire width to the wider front tires I have..
I am wanting to match the rear tires with the width of the tires I have for the front but taking into consideration the overall Bus stance as well...

I may need to lower the back some (just a thought)

Any suggestions?
