Anyone got any specs on what offset / size wheels I can fit under a stock L Bug Guard ?
Hi
On the rear, same as any bug, a 7 with a 23ET works OK. I have 7s with 55 et on the front of my car but need to run skinny struts.

Hi
Vintage and V force have them but I've seen people use some sort of Honda rear spring on the front with Beetle struts.

L Bug with 'negative roll radius' should have 41mm offset on the 4.5J rim
Hi
Vee Dub engineering in Canada sell these kits http://www.vdubengineering.com/products/narrowcoil.htm

thanks, I will fit up the 8" and see how they look and clear and if it is just the springs that stop me I will change them out
depends what model Lbug
the 2 bolt struts ones (74 on) have a 15mm wider track on each side
i got 17x7 et40 on mine that tuck nicely but its got 3 bolt earlier struts and narrow coils
mmmm ok I have a 75 R&P shell I am looking at using. Just checked my 18's but they are ET 12 ... not real good ...
Hi
On my old yellow 1302 I ran 17 x8s with 11ET I needed to run wider guards to fit them under.

Hi Brad
They just touched on the rear of the inner guard on full lock.
