Also helpful for this thread would be listing suspension modifications as future users will then be able to compare wheels in this thread vs. their own mods/plans to determine fitment before purchase.

yes thank sir.

here's our mod

the rims off-set is +38, and it's a 16x7 front and 16x8 Volk Racing GTU rims, my bug is a 1302-S, i used a rear spring from a Honda EG6, and cut the base plate and attach it to the VW strut, then used a 1 inch thick adaptor(which gives it the close clearance to the fenders) with the bolt pattern 4x114.3, you can also re-stud the hub and disk rotor if you preffer that.:)

my girlfriends ride is a '71 econo bug, the Volk Racing GRC-euro has an off-set of +35, size 16x7.5 on all four, and pcd 4x114.3, the only mod we do is re-stud the hubs and disk rotors then just install the rims on the bug, no more clearance issues on the fenders it fits perfect, the rims are wrapped with 195/50R16 on all four.:)

hope this helps.

I'm not familiar with the econo bug model, would that be torsion bar front suspension and drum brakes on all four corners?

same as a standard bug with 1200 engine, in other country it is known as a 1200A bug.
