Wheel Size dilemma

[TheRookie]

Hi Guys

I bought a set of wheels for my bug ,they 15 inch x 8.25j with a ET20 Offset.

I did a really stupid thing buying with checking whetjer they will fit .
I will be doing a fisc brake conversion in the front and flatface drums on the rear .

Will these wheels fit

If you get them to fit, you'll have serious issues with them hitting the suspension when trying to turn.
Then again, if you stretch them, you might get lucky and be able to push them out fairly far without the tyres rubbing the fenders.

I can make up custom thickness spacers if you need.

You will need about 25 to 30 mm spacers to clear the calipers of the disk brake conversion up front.

Then as Tony said you will have to see where the tyre sits in the fender's,

you may land up with different size spacers front to back

Good looking wheels you got.

Hi Guys

It appears the calipers will clear ,but i will loose the centre caps .

Ive done some measurements and it looks likenit will fit but it will knock on the front suspension when tuning.

If thats the case, a spacer will get your caps back and maybe clear your suspension.

Get tony to make you some
