The Super (1302 1303) stock strut springs are too large in dia. to let you put wide rubber up front. You can get adjust-s-struts and a tapered sport spring from TopLine or others that will give you more room but the MaxxStruts will give the most room of all your bolt on options. After you have the struts you select installed then you will have to measure and see what wheel/tire combo you can fit under your fenders. Be sure to measure both sides as these old VW's are sometimes a little different from side to side. A MaxxStrut at its highest setting is a 2 - 2.5 inch drop in front. I can't speak for the Adjust-a-Strut as I have not owned any. John at TopLine is very helpfull.
As for the rear of a Super, it is the same as a Standard. No struts in the rear. It is a torsion bar set-up with shocks. You can get a (slightly) adjustable spring plate for the rear and some (slightly) adjustable coil overs for the rear and get some adjustment from that, otherwize you need to re-index the splines one the torsion bars to rais or lower the car.
