I was wondering if I could install 4 lug beetle drums on my 59 panel? Or should i drill the hubs to fit 4 lug wheels? or STFU and roll it the way it is.

STFU, roll wide 5

Beetle drums are narrower then bus drums & why would you want the 4 lug pattern on a 59??

I have a set of 4lug sprints i wanted to run with tires already mounted.
Just looking for input from you guys

You can always get your bus drums drilled like you mentioned, but I don't know if the 4 lug sprints would fit over the snout on the front drums.

If the wheels are that important to you you could always buy a fat chick bug to stick them on.

I had a fat chick once and it was like riding a moped " all fun and games until your friends catch you!" :lol:

why not sell the rims? that should make you enought to buy a nice set of polished 5 spokes.
