Planning on getting my 76 beetle to a brake conversion
I plan to add some bbs wheels

Any brake kit recommendations for those wheels ?
Thanks

BBS wheels aren’t very common in the beetle 4x130mm bolt pattern. But, you can buy brake kits with other bolt patterns.

Yes correct i cant find bbs with 4x130 , i have seen kits with other bolt patters
The thing that has me confused on that is when it comes to the studs
