Yes it will. The tire surface will not, however, be in full contact with the ground (it will be arch-shaped) as a result of not having a 185mm wheel - all beetles ran on 155/80 R15 tires. So if you are considering the purchase of larger tires for efficiency reasons it would be wiser to have the wheel modified.

Furthermore, any tire lower than the stock height (155/80) will result in a loss of top speed, while simultaneously adding acceleration and strenght. Fuel consumption will also rise. (155*0.8 = 124. 185*0.6 = 111.)

Last but not least, the car will lose its "vintage" look - perfect for "Cal Look" beetles, infamy for the purists.
