    I am in the process of putting Supremes on my Shoebox and I have a question. I currently have some temporary tires on them, 195/75-15s and they are too big. I want that stretched on, lowrider look. Does any one know if 165R15 VW tires will let me achieve this goal? My wheels are 15x6. If not, what will get me there with a skinny whitewall?

    Any advice or pictures you may have is very greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot.

    520s sport way premiums do only come in 13-14'',,vw tires are what alot of the lowriders would use on stock 15s but most all the cars im refering to were chevy,,not sure what the size difference between the two rims are..other than getting 14 inch rims vw tires seem the best way to achieve what your after..just my 2 cents:)

    Just looked those up. they have a tread width of less than 4". Anyone know if they'd be a nightmare to drive with them front and back? Also, they are rated for 970 pounds each. My car has to be nearing the 4000 pound mark.

    As long as there are no occupants and you don't attempt to drive, stop or change directions, the car should be fine on those tires.

    That's what I'm scared of.
