  • White walls

    Hey Bob, I was wondering if I could score a set of four 2 inch wide white wall tires from you? I have some rubbing issues with my blizzacks 195 65 15's (Yeah I know it's summer and I shouldn't be rocking winters) I'm rolling on these until I can find a set of whites. what size do you think I need and can you get a set for me? I'm tucked pretty good at the back and front. Should I get a thinner tire or should I tame the height and stay just as wide? Your opinion is greatly apreciated.

    Thanks Bob!

    Wide whites are not easy to come by, especially for a reasonable price, but absolutely I will see what I can find for you...

    I am assuming this is an MKIV based on the tire size? If so finding a narrower option that is the correct diameter is tough. They used to do a 185/70R15 but I haven't seen those for years! let me look around a bit...

      what about "portawalls" i know you can get them for 15inch tires no problem. they would be way cheaper the tires, about 50USD each? they are pretty big in the aircooled world.

      Just another option.

        I think Dave is looking for these for his MK3 project.

          Well 195/65R15 is definitely too big for an MKIII... If this is so, it changes a few things... Can you confirm?

            Hey Bob I just decided to go with omega white wall inserts. I can't find whitewalls in the size I want so I'll try these out and see what happens..
            Thanks for all your time and efforts! I'll be posting pics tonight. I hope they work out.

                Hey Bob, looks like the inserts worked out well, they were a PITA to put on because they would squirt out of the bead when I was seating them. I got them on tho. Thanks for your help again. Maybe you should stock some...
