    i have a 78 rabbit lowered on coilovers. i have a set of carrol shelby basket weave rims from a dodge omni that are 13x6.

    so im trying to find tires that will fit them and hopefully not spend more on the tires the i did on the car.

    what size tires would best work with this combo. thanks

    The standard stock tire for that year was a 175/70/13

    You could run a 165/70/13

    my only thoughts with something that close to stock tires, is rubbing issues.

    id like to find something a bit more low profile. but alot of the 13s ive been seeing are a bit thicker so i dont know how they would look with a 6 inch width.
