I have a 66 bug with stock metal fenders. It has a 2' dropped spindle front end and also adjustable torsion bars and shorter shocks.. The rear is stock.
I want to get some new wheels but not sure what width will work. I see 4.5 and 5 inch rims to be most common.
Woulds the 5 inch wide up front still allow me to have a good turning ability (no rubbing on the fenders?
Appreciate any help. I am looking at buying some Budnik rims custom drilled for my 4 lug drums.
Thanks, Mike
Wow!! It must be real low with a 2 foot drop.......
Hahaha
2" drop AND 2" narrowed with smart car tyres on is the way to go :-)Rich
I've got a 66 with 5.5" rims on it. They are the American Eagle "Wide
5" fuchs. They look AWESOME and I don't have any issues with rubbing. My front tires are 145's. I'm sure I could run up to a 195 without any problem.Check it out here:
