what is the maximum width of tire you can put on a stock suspension 1974 super beetle? I have normal width tires right now but want to get something a little wider for looks.

at one point I had Chromies with 215 60 15 on the rear of my 64 with no problems. Currently i have EMPI STYLE 8 SPOKE WHEELs with 205 60 15 on the rear of my 68.

If you have after market wheels look at this tech site:
