Hi
Has anyone worked out the maximum beetle rim width in NSW i.e. based on 25mm increase in track?

Note that I don't have any clearance issues.

If you have, what back space and width works?

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Cheers

It all depends on what year beetle you have

Have a read here

Then use the offset calculator to see what fits

What was the weight of a '68 beetle from the factory? My baja weighed in at 780kg so that would mean I am only allowed to fit a 6" rim and therefore my 10" rears would be illegal.

68 Baja - It's a growing pain!
58 Baja ute - and the pain spreads!
85 T3 Kombi - still growing
89 T3 Kombi - parts car
