[T3] What size tires to buy?


Right now I've got 185/65R15s on my '67 Square, I'm
not sure how many 
notches it's been lowered, but I'd like to go down a
bit further. 

The backs seem fine for clearance and the fronts are
super close - they 
rub when you turn though. 

I'm wondering what the best compromise would be in
size - I don't want 
to lose too much driving ability, but I want to be
able to drop it down 
a bit more and retain the ability to turn.
 
I asked this question at the Samba 
(http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=84593)
and Toby 
mentioned someone on the list named "John J" that runs
the same wheels that I 
do - EMPI wide-5 5 spokes. Toby also recommended
dropping down to a 
185/55/15 - does this sound like the best option?
 
Thanks guys!
