Wed Jan 09, 2008 12:12 pm

This is my first post, I have searched for the last few hours and couldn't find a strait answer.

I am about to purchase a set of cookie cutters off of a 1984 944, I don't know if they are 15x6 or 15x7.

My super beetle is currently all stock suspension/brake wise and I have 2.5 in ch wider fenders in the rear.

I am going to lower my car using topline parts and and pick up disk brakes for the front from CIp1. I was going to just buy redrilled drums for the rear.

Will I have clearance issues in the front or rear? if they are 15x7s?

Thanks, give me some suggestions on what to purchase to make this work.

If you are going to use Topline Parts - call Jon at Topline and ask about fitment. I know the 7" will fit the rear on early with the right tires, but not in the front without major surgery. The 6" were on 911 porsche models (I believe). I don't know about clearances around the superbeetle suspension, but Jon should be able to set you on the right path. He is a helpful and knowledgable resource. Also - the 944 wheels are 7" - all 4.
