Bought a set of those wheels over the weekend based on how they look on your car.


It depends on how low your going, I wish I did a 6" beam. As far as the back depending how low your going you will have to roll the fenders pretty flat.

My '68 Patina Zenith Blue sunroof. Not as slammed as a lot of the cars here, but it's a good driver.

Will 195/50 work in the rear if I'm 3 outer clicks on 5" wide sprint stars with 4" backspace? Here is how it looked previously

Here is mine. Wife drives it daily. 4" narrowed beam, drop spindles and shimmed, 1 outer click in the rear. These are older pics but the faux rust patina is getting better every day. It is for sale too. I have too many, if that is possible.

Sorry for the late response. Beam is 5/8" off the ground. It's a bitch to drive but looks cool lol. I will plan on raising it soon.

Hadn't had a Beetle in about 6 years so I picked this up. Just got the body back on after pan halves and much more. Did up a 2" adjustable beam with drop spindles and did 2 clicks in the rear. Lots of reassembly to go obviously but couldn't wait to revive this thread. Tell me what you think.

Been a while, still like this thread though. If your not following my thread still working on my 68. Just time and money... mostly money. LOL
This one is 3 clicks I am pretty sure. I am running 205/65 in the rear.

This one is 2 clicks in the back I think, can't remember.
