Cool project, I think I have read about it before. I don't remember where. I'm currently searching for some 5x130 steel rims to use with winter tires, and remembered exactly your project, where you said you used some van wheels. Are these fiat ducato/peugeot boxer/citroen jumper rims? They look pretty nice on the bug..

i placed the transmission from original 4,5cm back but if i have to do it again i will to at least 5,5cm just to have more space
it fit's under the bonnet but not more then that :)

wheels/rims: steel rims 16inch rear245/45/16 front215/35/16
pre 65 chrome covers


I really like the idea of the custom widened steel rims especially in 16. I found that the oroginal ducato (whatever) wheel weighs 13 kg!? too bad as i'm looking for an other set for track days. Can you prove that info please? The pre hub cap is a direct fit to the centers? And what about the porsche wheel nuts on the rear? Thanks.

Very cool car btw
