If I remeber correctly form the last time I pulled a set off years ago, they have a huge offset. I know they are pretty wide.

I know this is a shot in the dark, but is there any more info on how this is accomplished? I assume adapters in rear and some sort of narrowed beam and adapters on front, too?
Any other pics? Or recipe? _________________ 1970(ish) Beetle Mutt - My first beetle will certainly be an adventure...

You should want a flat faced 6-7" wheel like this 928 wheel on a VW since they fit best but it is a free country! I buy good used pairs of tires if I'm not sure about sizing & run them for 1-2 years. 104 pages of different tire/wheel/stance setups here to reconnoiter.

That's my white Super Beetle. I do have those wheels for sale and they are 16x6et52 square setup. I'm not sure about a std, but on a Super they work with narrow coils and a small spacer unless you convert to 944 brakes, then they bolt right on.

In my opinion they look way better in black. I bought them with the intention to paint them black but I only got as far as doing plastidip on them. So they are dipped now but will peel off easy (I dipped them the right way) if you want the platinum finish.
