what tire size?

What is a common tire size people run for a lowered bug? I have 68 standard and I plan on lowering it and I heard there may be rubbing issues. And I kinda want to run a small side wall also to get rid of some more sway

Stolen...errr....borrowed from the samba:

195/60/15's (slight rubbing on fender edge, switched to 175/65/15's, slightly narrower, no rubbing) Rear: 205/60/15s

Lot of factors can determine your outcome this link should help you when looking at all factors. ( beam,wheel size and offset )

My squareback is running 135's up front and 165's in the rear. But I'm about to get some 165/45/15's for the front and I will never rub again. Giggity.
