4 lug to 5 lug

Well, I'm honored to have my opinion wanted ... at least before it's given.

Looks are looks, and the reason cars look differently from each other is because their owners are different. Beyond that, I am personally not that keen of a 145mm front tire for cornering purposes. I am sure it is ample in most daily driving applications but I would prefer a little more rubber to the pavement.

thanks for the honest opinion, this is the original idea somewhat anyways. The knockoffs are a added idea since i seen them in a magazine i have.I would stick with the 195/60's front and rear but the front tires bulge off of the rim an cause them to stick out .Like this, this is the topveiw of the front fender .Im wanting to lower the front so maybe I can get away with a 2" narrow up front.If I could find out if disc brakes were possible to run with these wheels for up front, that would be cool too.But so far everyone that Ive asked, says no to the discs.

I have zero experience with standard Beetles so I have no input to offer on narrowed front ends. I am sure there others who do. Maybe they can outline the pros and cons.

Meanwhile, what is so unique about your situation you are being told no to disks?

My rims are a deep dish wheel, there like Ansens an I was told being there deep dish and a rim from the 70's erra, discs might not work.
