I know the stock 1969 bug sedan tire size is 165/80R 15 but I wonder if anyone has used a wider tire. Like a 205/65R 15 for better traction. Would this tire fit with the kit?

Any pictures?

What year VW is used?

Mileage on VW and mileage since MG completed?

Any major modifications to kit? like a roll bar, structural stiffing to allow car to track better at highway speeds, front end crush up material???

With John York’s help, we finished the MG-TD VW in 1999 which makes the car 20 yrs old in its current lifetime. Runs well and still turns heads.
