My German look revamp - progress report and pictures....

[samcat]

Wheels and tyres are on:







VERY happy with the overall effect! The car is now about 1 inch higher off the ground which will help LOTS with speedbumps, the wheels fit perfectly, clearing the bumpstops on the rear by 5-10mm, it all tucks nicely under the arches too (STOCK size wings!)

17x7, 215/45-17, et 38... I have slimline struts on the front (wouldnt of fitted otherwise) but NO OTHER MODS for them to fit! (Other than drums/disks drilled to 4x100)

Cya,

The wheels look great!

[euro1302s]

those rims are really nice, it matches the cars aggressive appearance, I also have a 17x7 rims with 215/40R17(f) and 215/45R17(r) it fits nice w/o modifying the fender which is really nice.

Excellent stuff - glad to see those wheels on the car. They look a treat!

Love the whole project. What bolt pattern are those wheels? just curious.

4x100, same as mk1/mk2 golfs (rabbits), early BMW's and a few others.... Because its the same as mk1/mk2 golfs means the offset the wheels come with is usually about right for a bug... These are et38.

So, great looking wheels and tires!

No rub at all even with your stock fenders?

I may go with the very same set up on my 73 SB.

Where did you get the wheels again and what kind are they?

[Ephry73]

I think all that extra sound is necessary. The type 4 in the back of my Ghia is loud as shizte. Good did indeed.
