Just curious to know and see pic's...I've been seeing ALOT of busses with 15x8s and 15x10s and getting them to fit by narrowing the torsion housing etc.. do you need to narrow the torsion housing area on a bug to get 10's to fit and if so anyone done it.

With some 3" wider fenders it would be easy squeezy.
