I herd you can run originals on a lowered t3's. Is this true? I know the fakes have a beetle offset. The originals dont? _________________ '72 square

I don't have any current pics of them on my car, but I can tell you without a doubt, they will work. Almost every Type 3 I have owned, whether lowered or stock-high, has entertained a set of OG Rivis in its tenure with me. Though I have recently developed a fondness for the stock T3 wheel, there has been a point in the ownership of every T3 I have owned when she has had to sport the OG Rivieras (although I don't think they were called that back in the day). Right now both my 67 sqaure and my 65 notch are running them. The square is stock high with 5.0 wide rims (165's all around) and my notch is down 2 clicks in the front, stock high in the rear on 5.5 wide rims (195/50's frt/195/60's rear) with not a shred of rubbing or clearance issues.
I own several sets of these in various widths so if you are interested you can Pm me for more info. _________________ Jim in Sacto -
