Does anyone know if 6" ERCOs with DOT M&H tires will fit with standard length 67 bug axels?

Early '67 (short), or later '67 (long)? There really is no standard. It all depends on the offset of the wheels. Are you buying these new or off a friend? If new, they usually won't just sell you an off the self wheel. They want to know your offset and back and/or front spacing. The ERCOs that are being sold new by a few shops are using the measurements that are correct to fit them under stock fenders, using stock brakes. Most of the time though you need to know your cars' measurements and then order the wheels.

My 67 has long axels (castings are longer than the earlier ones). The ERCOs I bought are from Vee Dub Parts which I got about 8 months ago (star cut) the 6" rears are 3 1/2" x 2 1/2"

Can I tuck a 15x7 under stock rear fenders? Pan is 62 and body is a 58.
