Hey Tim, 33's wont fit unless you run $$$ worth of longer rear arms. 31's only just miss the torsion bars with standard arms.

They will if you have the torrsion bar end plates that dont have the big rods that stick out mine had 35s on it when i got it mind you they would have scraped going over a ten cent coin but they were on there

That "big rod that sticks out" is part of the IRS springplate....
The IRS has longer torsion bars that go through the torsion plate housing.... What springplates are on your Bug?
You cant just swap the IRS and swingaxle springplates either as the swingaxle springplates are longer than the IRS ones

yea but you can weld a Swing axle centre spline into the IRS springplate, or cut down a swing spring plate to fit IRS, then fit the swing axle torsion bars and end cap.
