Here's a shot of my bus with 2.5" spindles from www.wagenswest.com.
The tires are from the first link above.

This looks sooo goood!!! What are the dimensions of these? Must be stock 14” rims since you have the hubcaps? Sounds like a fairly easy modification albeit pricey?

The early Busses had 15" rims. I have a set of 4 for my sand rail. The rear ones in this picture are 15" Bus. I keep a full set of 4 with street tires on to save the off road tires when I flat tow the rail for a distance. They are a bit wider than the Beetle wide 5 rims and they do take the stock hub caps.
