How wide are the standard rims? 5" or 5.5"?
Im thinking about going for a similar tyre, something wide but lower profile and adjusting height from there.
|
No idea on how wide they are... ill measure my spares today some time...
195 seems to fill the guards nicely, i run 165/65 i think on mine... but given i have 3 sets of rims, im always open to trying other things!
I really want to go lower on mine, but need to change engine over and do a few other things first and decide from there... I think the folks are
getting sick of the gouges out of the road and driveway at home allready!

Small update
Been doing a few things on the dub over my week off.
Dropped front end a spline (now 3 total)
Polished Paintwork / Bumpers / Wheels
Fixed Drivers Seat
Tidied up wires under dash
Fixed loose steering Wheel
Re-Aligned bumpers
Fixed Bonnet latch
So overall just a big tidy up.
After i cleaned her i took her for a drive and snapped a couple pictures:

The old rollas make great cars, their simple and most are bullet proof.

Did you end up getting your 225's? I have a certain point at the rear that has only 1-2mm clearance! Any passengers and it scrapes around corners.

Ive been busy with alot of small things on the dub lately.
First off i got some new door trims from doc. They were red but i have dyed them black, I also made new backing plated as the originals were warped to
hell.
Made a new parcel shelf (subs and stereo are gone)
Fixed broken speedo cable
Also threw in a picture of the height of the front end. I'm sorry sway bar but your going to die!

Heres a couple snaps from a show i entered tonight!
It was a hot rod, rat, custom, pre 1970 show down the main street of Tanunda, absolute hundreds of cars and around 4000 people!
I happened to be the ONLY VW at the slow!
Most people seemed to like it

I didnt get many other pictures as there way just too many people! Must of been around 5000 people down there? It was hard to get a clear shot.
I was pretty proud to get out front of the vw dealer
