Don't want to show the image just yet, but would like some technical advice.
I am going to have wheels made for my 70 Ghia and need to know if they will clear or if I have to make modifications. I gave them specs based off of some aftermarket vw wheels I have seen and they said the rears should be fine but the fronts would have to be the specs below.

16x5.5 +22 (1" lip) (front)
16x6.5 +29 (1" lip) (rear)

Front spacing on the fronts are 2.375"

Lets just say they are forged, multi-piece and will be a nice addition to a soon to be subaru-powered ghia.

I guess I should add that the front beam will be narrowed a minimum 2-3" and I will also be using 2-2.5" drop spindles which I am told move the wheels out 1/4".
