Looking to put a set of Rota Flashbacks or Zero Plus in gold on my Super Beetle. Lug pattern for both are 4x100. I was thinking of running adapters or re-drilling to 4x100. Adapters would push them out a bit. I would like a 0-offset for the rear and 40 for the front. Does anyone think I will have clearance issues with the suspension???

Thanks Very Happy [/img]

You didn't even post a picture of a Rota! 65 pages of knowledge below if you study it. In the end we All did our own engineering of tires/wheels/suspensions.

Whats the width on them?

Depends what year super as to front clearance.
anything over 6" on the front you would need narrow coil struts

Im running 4x100 7" wide et40 rims on mine with stock discs redrilled and Maxx struts with a 3 bolt front end.

On the rear et0 wider than 6" is gonna hit the spring plates and bump stop ledge.
