I got some nice mags for free ,they have a 140mm or 5 1/2 " back space * from bolting face to outer edge of rim . will these clear my 62 beetle pan
??? There 61/2" wide

maybe ????? but what size tyre are you going to run? because the bag of the tyre may not fit.

Hi Neil,
Got them for free hey, good for you.
When I measured my Eureka up for mags I have inboard clearance of (roughly) 140mm at the rear and 180mm at the front. Those 15 x 8 Dragway Billets I
got have 130mm backspace and the idiot had 295's on them. The tyres just clear the trailing arm, shock & bump stop at the rear of the Eureka, so
if you don't go too radical with your tyre size then your 140mm backspace wheels may fit OK, but I'm not sure if they will clear the standard Beetle
wheel arches (front space).
Have you thought about fitting spacers?
