Hi all, got a question that im sure can be answered easily. I have a 57 bug on a later pan (irs and ball joint). Im looking to put porsche wheels on, either fuchs or gas burners, and am wondering about a couple things. I have already located the conversion drums/rotors from SoCal.

First, do i have to install studs with nuts or can i use factory vw lugbolts?
and if so, how long of studs?

Second, i plan to run 4.5" in the front if i run fuchs, is it pretty common to run a 2 or 4 inch narrowed beam with these? Kinda going for that Gene Berg/Cal look.

Thanks in advance

Stock wont work. You can use screw or press studs and nuts. The rim dictates type of nut, ball or etc.

You dont need narrow with the 4.5's unless you are super low or like the look. I like a 3 or 4 with the fuchs, just my preference.
