Show us a picture so we can see what wheels are on it now. It should take a pretty chunky tire.

What tire sizes are on it now?
Crickets? Dean - What can you tell us about the CMC 359? I understand just over 200 were produced but that Thunder Ranch bought extra unsold bodies and produced some. I've never seen a TR one for sale though. There was a red one a Carlisle a few years ago. I was impressed with side of the engine compartment - could easily fit a T4, a H6 cyl Subbie or even 6 cyl Porsche. I never could tell if the chassis was shortened like the Speedster.
It's screaming for those replica Fuchs that DrClock uses on some of his wide body cars. The OEM gold and chrome wheels seem to date the 359 - but maybe plastic dipping them would change look.
These wheels -
Wolfgang, I will sent pictures when I get the car back, the tires are standard 165 x15, like the old bug's

Well those are too tall, too skinny and to hard to come by now days. We can help you (spend your $$$) for sure. Hopefully they aren't still on 4 bolt OEM steel wheels?
