I know these wheels are typically used for Baja's. But I though I might try a set on my slammed street car. I am far from a wheel offset and back space expert.
Does anyone set and fitment issues with the 6" wide wheel 3.75 back spacing. In this link http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=743650 with something around a 165 60 15?

The 5" wide would probably fit & that is correct for a 165 tire.

Their all gonna stick out on a full fender Beetle. A 15x5.5 eagle eight spoke with 4" back space is almost flush on the back of a late model Bug.
