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.
