The stock tires on a '86 Karmann Ghia would normally be a 155 - 15 tire however most people put on 165 size. I think that the size would be a 5.60 15 or 6.00 15, they are 15 inch rims, and either 4 or 4 1/2" wide, not sure exactly when they made that changeover, but does not matter on the tire size.
I checked into tires in Houston TX, Discount tire stocked the 165-15 size.
Stock tires in 1968 would most likely have been bias ply. You will have much greater tire life and a safer vehicle if you go with radials. Unless you are doing a total ground up restoration, radials will likely be cheaper, and are better more modern tires for street use.
The last of the ACVW beetles made in Mexico this century used a 155/80-15, in theory this is just a hair smaller that the OEM 155r15. So far (spring 2010) you can still order this tire from better BFG vendors. This tire does fit in the nose, this tire does fit the stock narrow rims very well, this tire does allow for chains and turning with out rubbing.
