I know this description is vague..... but...... there was a photo in a club thread prob 6-8 months ago, it was a black beetle completely done, could of even been a vert, with ET's and it was bagged. I think it was a guy from Japan that had it...... sorry for the bad memory but wish I would of saved a pic of it. I tried looking for it and came up with nothing. anyone have any idea of the car Im talking about? if so post a pic of it here!!

holy shit!!! YES your right!!! those are aftermarket re-pop.... I looked at the ridge on the spoke and that was it. I thought there was a car that had ET's that was dumped like that? That could of be the car and I just forgot it was not OG wheels... sorry to get you all excited Mike!!!

..................... chadd I saw that bus in your ET ad and I want to know what the suspension mods are on that bus.... im guessing 1" narrowed rear torsions and a 6" beam if all brakes are stock drums... if there disks on there ill up that measurement guess..... that bus is bad ass for sure....

Tue Sep 28, 2010 6:56 pm

hey tony, the rear was just a straight axle conversion with bug brakes, and the front was a beam built on the inside of the frame rails, instead of the normal 4 inch narrow or what they call a 4 inch beam....

Damn that bus has a ton of space inside the rear wheel well.... That's awesome!!!

the offset is not that extreeme tony. fits good with short axle and early bug brakes... you can see in the pics there is plenty of room for more! :wink:
