Hi
On the rear, same as any bug, a 7 with a 23ET works OK. I have 7s with 55 et on the front of my car but need to run skinny struts.

I have some 8" M3 mags I was thinking of using which are ET23 but thinking 8" is to much up front

Hi
Vintage and V force have them but I've seen people use some sort of Honda rear spring on the front with Beetle struts.

L Bug with 'negative roll radius' should have 41mm offset on the 4.5J rim

Hi
On my old yellow 1302 I ran 17 x8s with 11ET I needed to run wider guards to fit them under.
