I searched and couldnt find much so...
anyone know if I can run 15x7 Cookie Cutter rims on front an rear of a 72 STD Beetle and not have to narrow the beam and not worry bout rubbing.Im gonna run 195/60/15's on them or smaller if needed, might even go with the stretched look.I know they have a 23et thats all, and they will fit the rear , but the front is my main concern really.

was a 6" beam really neccesary? Im hoping I dont need to narrow it much if even.Do the Fuchs 15x7 have the same offset?

holy fuck you had 135's on a 7 inch rim? thats the most fucked up thing you could manage to run on those wheels. FAR too narrow of a tire.

i hope 135 is just a typo and you infact ran something wide enough for that rim.

When I had my 15x7 cookies and a stock width beam on my 66 I didnt rub, Im running the same 15x7's on my car right now with a 3 inch narrowed beam and cb drop spindles, I still dont rub.

cool, because I cant afford a narrowed beam just yet.If I do get these which I hope I do, I'll be running stock height for a lil while.
