Which wheels
Bugster - November 21st, 2008 at 07:58 PM

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.

ring richard at vforce. he has the only set of mags designed to fit the supers that i know off.
im talking about the spider rims he sells.

or get some of his narrow coil struts and some discs and dums with new stud pattern and fit any new rim u like

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.

They still need thin springed struts

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.

Vintage in Sydney 02-9789-1777 have Steel black rims that will fit the stock set up

Thanks so much for all the advice all of you it has made my mind up. I will go for the narrowed adjustable struts off Custom Vee Dub. At this moment Bugster is at Dandy Volks getting a little over due work carried out so soon as I pick him up ill contact you Buggy Brad about the dreaded cost hahaha.
Cheers all
