Hi hot66,

Yes I did have a look at your post. My situation is very similar. The wheel rims stick out about the same amount as on your bug but with the tyre fitted the problem is pronounciated even more.

I have plenty of room between the wheels and springplates as they are only 7.5j. I have already taken some material off of the shock tower bump stops because initially I was planning to use the swingarm suspension setup. So I have no problems at all with clearance on the inside.

I think that I'm going to try to narrow the spare set of trailing arms I have by making up some jigs and cutting and shutting them. It seems to be the obvious and easiest solution.

Cheers for all your help.

Regards,

Andy.
