Hi everyone, I'm Dimitri from france.
I'm currently bulding a 62 beetle, my first one and I need some advices.

I am planning to purchase a set of BRM Wheels for my car. It currently has an original beam with sway away kit in front and origine rear.

I am thinking about Flat-4 BRM's (5" ET5 fronts and 6.5" ET12 rears) and running 145/15 in front But in rear i dont know what size could be fit, 205/65, is it too wide to avoid scrappīg with the fender or suspension axe?

Thank for your answer and recommandation

I am also curious. I was looking at those wheels last night and would like to do a 195 or maybe a 205 in the back to fill up the wheel well better. Plus give me some better traction so my 40hp doesnt just spin the tires so much Wink
