If yours is a 69 torsion front then rear wont be a problem..The front will be a problem unless you narrow your beam down 2 inches or so if you want to run EMPI repro wheels etc.
.The other option is a set of wheels from Richard Holzl from VFORCE..His wheels are probably the best fitting aftermarket wheel without having to narrow your front beam.Look up his details and give him a call,he's a wealth of knowledge.

I run a set of porsche boxter wheels on the convertable, 6 x 16, ET55 on the front with 195/50/16 and 7 x 16, ET40 on the rear with 225/55/16, do not rub and clear the guards, i also run dropped spindles, if you do not have those it will still fit. you can pick these up very cheap on flea bay, do not narrow the beam just get the wheels with the correct ET so the car will retain the factory geometry.

It's a 69 manual so a swing rear axle and torsion front
Got 185 tyres on the back, so 4.5 inch rims and stock 165s on front

You would extremely lucky to find a set of ATS Classics in Aus, you would probably have to get them from Europe, they are worth a mint as they sought after69bug wrote:So Joel where can I find some ats rims?

The proper ATS classics have an offset and witt made for bugs, 15x5.5 et25.
the Globes were made in the era of wide Carrera gaurds, 6" et6 are a lousy fit with stock guards.
Are your current ones rubbing?

Yeah was about to say that 69bug..As a Wolfrace wheel..They say they are 15" but I think the rim pictured is also a 13" wheel.
