Wayne, Bubble Ercos look like this  They have no offset so the rim is on the same plane as the centre. Your wheels have offset so the rim is further out from the car (and look nicer). |

Ah thanks for that mate. Zero offsett. Never realised they called them bubble. Makes sense. To be honest it wasn't by design. I wanted Ercos and already had the rears. These were the last pair Paul Hamilton had at VW Speedshop in Manchester. All cool though

Hi guy's, first post here for me. Been a long time lurker. Certainly a great site. This is my Aussie '59. A work in progress.   |

Thanks Fred. Got a little way to go yet but I'm getting there. Hi Zach, bit of terminology confusion on my part I think! but what does bubbling mean mate? Was told about this site by some of the guys on the GreenHearts forum in the UK. Very nice bunch of people on there with great cars. I'm based in the North East of England, about as far removed from Cali as you can get :lol: . But I'm trying to bring a little Cali sunshine to the rainy North East! Where in the North East are you? |

Too sunny here to get decent photos of a white car today so not the greatest pictures...but finally got the adjusters fitted. Not quite cal look...but the front is lower than the back! Still have stock wheels and 165/80 continentals all round. Richard   |

Thanks '54Kab. I took a similar approach to my old Notch in the UK...lowered front but 165s still....
Hope to get some WW/Okrasa heads etc some time in the future but at the moment still stock 36hp.
