Not sure what You mean Lachlan...
1969 swing axle beetle...
wheels too far out...
tyres rubbing on guards lip..
easy way is to adjust the rear torsion bars up a spline or two..
to raise the car... nothing to buy..
otherwise... You can get wider fibreglass guards ..
another way... is air shocks... they are pumped up to raise Your car.. not too expensive??
best of luck

so, You need the guards widened again....
as the widening of the rear track hasn't really worked....
as I said, easiest way is to adjust the rear torsion bars^ up so the tyres don't rub...
or use air shocks to push the wheels ^ up more..
or change the wheels... which I'm sure you don't want to...

Lowering the car will not change the tyre's rubbing as the suspension is still traveling in the same arc, you need to change the wheels with a
different ET, reduce the track or widen your guards.
