I got tired of going back & forth comparing tires sizes to see what will fit and what won’t. So I throw these charts together to help others in the same need. These charts should help you pick the right tires for the car. I did 14” for the Thing rims, 15” for the DOH, and the 16” for the rich people who can afford those rims!
but the stock 15" Beetle tire is a 165R15. The implied aspect ratio is either 80 or 83 depending on your source, not 60 as shown in your chart.
Thats what I thought too John, couldnt find anyone selling them though. Ordered a set a of the 165 60's for my vert. I'll let you know what I think of them.

Nice idea, Im close to picking out itres sizes for my Volksrod project "Operation X". Im aware of sizes, charts, and calculators, but is there a post with photo/size references used on Volksrods. Nice to know what a particular size actually looks like in use.
