Manufacturer specification

Volkswagen Beetle
tyres & wheels.

November 2015 UK Cabriolet brochure

Selected wheel packages from the dated UK brochure. The listed trim, engine, body style and self-sealing restrictions matter. These historical examples do not establish fitment for other generations or an approved wheel conversion.

Check your exact vehicle. These are selected documented combinations, not a registration lookup or a complete fitment list. A tyre with the same size can have a different load index, speed rating, construction or manufacturer approval.

Before buying for your Beetle

  2. Check the fitted wheel option and the approved specification for each axle.
  3. Confirm load and speed ratings, XL and HL, run-flat construction and any manufacturer markings.
  4. Compare the exact tyre variant and ask your manufacturer or fitter if anything differs.
