Re: MY Beetle
Thanks Tony ,thanks Rui.
Back still needs to be dropped ,uneven at the back.
In the pic it looks like the back is low ,probably the surface it was standing on.

Re: MY Beetle
my honest choice at the rear would be a bigger tyre diameter.
I got the same rims as you but in 17"
When I bought them, they had 205/40/17 rubber and while looking good, the rubber looked too small to me. Changing to 215/45/17 made it look perfect. I'll see if I can find a pic to demostrate

Re: MY Beetle
the best I can do
Small tyres

Larger tyres

Ignore the front, I changed the height after fitting the 215s, but the back is exactly the same...
Not sure if this helps you at all?
