13's and 14's
Anyone know of any size tire i can run that will give a bug a nice stance?I have 13x5.5's and 14x7's. Its eventually going to be lowered 3" up front.I was thinking o a 165/65/13 but I have only found 1 tire but it has a 100 treadwhere which is not good for front tires and a daily driver.
Anyone know of any brands that make this size but with a better tread where. The rears, do you guys think a 185/65/14 or a 195/60/14 will look better on a 7" wide rim? |

I recommend the 175/50R13 for the 13x5.5 and the 195/60R14 for the 14x7, that will go good with 2.5 to 3 inches of lowering in the front and 1 inch lowered in the rear. You could always leave the rear up for the "hot rod" look.
I've seen a late '70 Standard Bug with this combo and it looked great, I wish I had pictures of that car. |

Tire Rack seems to be the only company with a 175/50/13.Sure there are others but wow, 153.00 for 1 tire, no thanks

Look at the adverts in Truckin' and Low Rider magazines, you'll find some there.

I found a site called tires easy with alot of different tire sizes, based n Oregon.The have 1, 175/50/ listed, 3, 175/60's listed plus a comp. tire, a quite a few decisions in a 175/70 though.Im thinking of going with the more common 175/70 for the front, but rear maybe a 25/60 or 70/ 14 to keep hat stance Im going for. Will I have a problem with the balloon effect though, which i dont want.If is a moderate balloon, its ok.The 175/70 says it works on a5-6" rim while the 205's fit a 5.5-7" rim.
IM still tying to decide on agood tire combo ![]() |
