Hey guys, found these rims on a website and would love these (or similar) on my Bug.
Centerline - Rev 15" X 6" Wheel
However I don't know the first thing about wheel set up or suspension. I have a 1970's bug with standard 4 lug pattern and Type Three Front Disc
Brakes.
If I were to change the entire set up to 5 lug pattern, how much (roughly) does it cost to do? Surely someone on here has done it - any stories?
If not I was hoping i would be able to get them made up with the 4 lug pattern.
Cheers and beers,
Ollie
change stud pattern on your standard discs to 5x120(commodore,bmw) or 5x114.3(ford, & jap stuff) -cant remember old holden pattern off hand but
thats also an option you may wish to consider but would be limiting if you changed your mind- they should be available in either, you want an
offset(et) around +40ish i believe, works out to be a backspacing of about 5inches, give vintage or volksconversions or whatever a call depending who
is more convenient to you, work on the theory that its going to cost you a pair of discs for the front & some drums on the back, should be off the
shelf items at the shops mentioned & alot of others, costs about the same as a standard part as far as i know, however, IF your wanting more power
in the near future, look into discs all round etc etc, theres plenty of info on here about those though
http://www.autolounge.net/calculators/tirespacing.html use that to convert spacings & offsets, it helps alot because
different people use different measures
