what is correct for a 67 deluxe bus. white walls or all black? and if it is white walls wide or thin?


In the Schrader-Motor-Chronik book VW TRANSPORTER/BUS 1949-67, there's a picture of a 1967 Sunroof Deluxe (with U.S. style bumpers). It has narrow whitewalls.

VW buses switched to narrow whitewalls several years before 1967. I can't tell you that absolutely all Deluxes had whitewalls, but it does seem appropriate. Bridgestone makes a 185/75R14 narrow whitewall that's a good fit for a later bus.
