There anything else done to the rear to put the BTR's on or is the 2" wider fenders all you needed? What about the front end? Was there any modifications needed? I know there offset is bad thats why I'm asking.
Looks really sweet I like it.

Thanks I am happy you like the stance of my bug.

bug has a drop front (no shorten front end)

widen rear fenders dropped a click

choosing the right tires makes the difference I guess
