 |

Hi I would like too add wider wheels to my 63 beetle, add disc brakes and also lower it two inches. I have read that AC industries makes wide 5 disc brakes kits that are zero offset. As off lower I hear drop spindles are the best way, but I hear they push the wheels out. Are these spindles good?

I want to use 6 inch rims and run 195 60-15 tires. I like the wide tire look on a beetle.
Will I need to use a narrowed front beam? |

| No one makes a droped spindle with wide 5 disc brakes.... as far as a drop spindle widening the track only when they are the type... so if you go with your planned wide 5 disc brakes and a 2 inch narrowed adjustable beam you should be just fine since you are only going a little way down and not into the weeds |
