The original tires were 145r15, your 165r15's are already oversized.
Coker Tire carries the proper Firestone 145r15 Beetle tires.
AnswerUhh...no. Not on a 1973--stock size WAS 165R15. You could get away with a 175R15, but a 185R15 would be pushing it.If you want to go Old School, a 560-15 bias ply tire was on really early Bugs.
Answer :I would recommend 5.60-15. it really brings out the bug inside.
After 1972 Volkswagen said that 5.60 were too narrow so they enlarged it to 6. but still i use General 5.60-15 tires, they are awesome whether its road grip, bumpy road, highway or economy and creates higher clearance. I tried the radial tires but the bug was uncomfortable and the ride was too bumpy even on highways.

You should be able to fit 22 inch wheels on a ford mustang as long as you make sure the wheels are not too wide. You will also have to use a really low profile tire. In some cases you will need to roll your fenders(.There is a machine that can be rented online to roll or bend your fenders). Hope this information helps Jose ( I am planning to put 22 inch wheels on my car soon... I also have a mustang)
