I don't think it would be a problem with 7x17" wheels, ET40 and stock wings (fenders) I had 7x17"s on my bug with stock wings and an offset of ET35. There was easily at least another 5mm to spare before things got tight, so I don't see why with "69projet"'s combination a spacer up to 10mm couldn't be used. It's an awful lot easier than having your rear hubs machined down, especially if you drive your bug everyday and can't afford the down-time.

You don't want to take too much off your hubs either, or the castellations on the big axle nut won't co-incide with the hole in the shaft for the split-pins...
