General Grabber AT2's

I love love love them. Weird that they are bigger, but they dont really mess up my speedo at all. Still within 2mph @60mph. Thought it would be more significant than that. _________________ -74 Standard - "CaliBug" 2084T, MS3X w/FI and Crank Fire

I am on a 2500 mile round trip mural painting tour of the mid-Atlantic right now. It had brought me to lots of places off the beaten path. Right now I am in Roan Mountain, TN... where this picture was taken:

The wheels are some aftermarket for passat via ebay. 16x8 with 5x112 and perfect offset (can't remember what) but they fit with about 1/4" space to the body and the shock on the rear. people either like them or hate them. same with everything i've done on the bus. |
