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.

Forgot to post an updated picture after the 6.5" narrowed beam. Still 3 outers in the rear on 195/50/15 and front on 135's.

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. _________________ 1973 beetle |

Yeah I did the same on my 68 a lot more options but wondering what he did for the front. He prob pie cut it if its still a beam. |
It's a Super... and it's static. It was built by @joshwaa__ on Instagram. _________________ 1973 Superbeetle: 1st car, owned since age 12. Update thread --> https://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?p=9919140#9919140

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.
