Hi ya people of VW world,
I have a 74 super bug and want to fit some nice Mag's, after talking to Dandy Volks here in melbourne I have been told it is a bit of a nightmare to fit and to find mags 15"x41/2JJ any bigger and they will rub on the coil spring or stick way out passed the guard.
What I want to know have any of you super bug owners fitted Mag's without having to alter guards and suspension etc,if so what size and make are they.
hope to here from some of you.
❗

I will have narrowed adjustable struts in stock for the 3 bolt struts in teh next week or so. I can also provde custom hubs etc to suit so as Joel said you can run any mag you want.

Once you change your struts and stud pattern you can run almost any late mags in up to 17" without hassle.

I have 17 x 7 mags on mine with a 205 x 50 x 17 front and a 225 x 60 x 17 rear (I think) Mut better looking that 15" and the adjustable struts let you fix the stance just right.

That's correct, V-Force wheels don't fit superbug without change of spring. Set of Riviera vheels fits perfect.

Richard can get a 205 in a stock guard, but only with the coil over.
