That has to be my favorite looking paint job I have seen on here. I really like the color.
I am wanting to Copper dip the chrome on mine. Just trying to figure out the color to go with it.
You did a awesome job. _________________ If a car travels the speed of light, would the headlights work? |

It seems like John told me that a 15x7 would hit the steering knuckles, and I liked the cups II(17x7) anyway. |

Hello Buddy I have a 1996 bugand I put 15x10 rims and I widened the fenders by 3 inches looks pretty cool, what do you think?
I might need bigger rims to fill the space or reshape the fenders

Just a side not if you are lowering the rear, look into flipping the rear trailing arms! It made a big difference in the way mine sits. Tires are vertical and not leaned in. |

This is the exact stance i want for my but how mush lower is that than stock? what kinda suspension you running? and the only thing i dont like is the front wheels being in so far is there a reason for that? Id like mines to be closer to the fender |

These are 18x8.5 in the rear and 17x8.5 in the front both have a 5"backspace and fit great. They use the 5x4.75 bolt pattern. |

What are the tire and rim size and backspacing for the front and rear on the black VW? Looking to set mine this same way. |

So I am trying to see if there is an adapter to go from this size rim to 4x5 bolt pattern? If so where could I find them at? |
