Post by: Black_65 on October 22, 2012, 18:52:29 pm
Hi guy's,

I need some help on 'wheels' i want to look at ordering for my 65' beetle...

I was looking at getting my front disc's and rear drums's machined to fit the stud patten on the wheels.

The wheels i'm looking at buying are 'american racing torque thrust D' but in need of help on the ones to order ie on the offset, backspace?

And one of these at the rears : looking to use the 15x6

Can anyone shed some light if these will fit ok on the bug?

Be looking to run 145/65/15 (front) & 195 or 205/65/15 (rear).

Clarkey

Tried the 15 x 4.5 when I was putting together my 67. Even with a 3 inch narrowed beam, the front stuck out over inch past the fender. This was with a CB drop spindle disc brake kit also.
