on the same note as vwbao, what about 16 x 7 with 40mm offset on
a 69 Ghia...?

Anyone have any experiece with a 7" wheel w/ 40mm offset on the back of a Ghia?


Sorry to highjack your thread, but I didnt want to start a new one for
a similiar type question...:)

I'm new here and Its strange, there's only few people arround in the forum...maybe samba is just over popullated.:confused:

Or we're busy working on our cars!;)

Us treadwidth-challenged Ghia owners all recognize that we have the same issue. If you search the Samba Ghia section and the shoptalkforums Ghia section you'll find several threads regarding this issue in depth (something we wish our wheel wells had:rolleyes: )

The trend is that 7" with a mid - to high 40's offset will work in MOST cases. The Ghia is hand made so variances do exist:bawling:
