Going to bring this one back from the dead. Lots of nice looking cars with phone dials here but not much mention of which size wheels were used and any mods that had to be done.
Im looking at a set of 15x6 with the ET52.3 and am wondering how theyll fit on my 64 bug. I think the rear will be fine.
The front might need some work though. I currently have a narrowed beam with drop spindles and disc brakes in the 5x130 Porsche pattern. I think theyll fit but I have a feeling I might need to run wheel spacers to push them out more (due to my narrowed beam) to regain some turning radius.
Any help on your setup and specs would be awesome. _________________ 1955 Beetle |
