something different in style

Cool, when you do order some wheels, make sure you get the correct lugs. There are a few types of mounting holes that need the right lug. The company can tell you though.

I apologize in advance for the negativity but "volksrods" are useless... all that time $$ and effort could be put towards a really clean fast and usefull "volkswagen" weather you decide gl or jpn look or some interpritation of your own

Volksrods are cool to me, theres really no money involved to make a Volksrod well except the extention beam which is like around 300 bucks.It pushes the wheels in front, forward 8, 10, or 12" whatever you prefer.Then you just cut the front an rear aprons, an remove the fenders, an cut the roof or whatever you like.
But Im going with JDM wheels, for my GL look

Hi, just want to share, I have 2 sets of rims, one is 15x7 that has a +38 off-set, 2 piece Enkei rims, wrapped with 195/55R15 on all four, and the other set is a 16x7.5 +42 off-set 2 piece Enkei rims with 205/50R16 tires on all four, my bug is a 1302-S, so to make the story short, if you have a standard beetle, you are safe with 15x7 with an off-set o +38 - +42, a little spacer will clear some rubbing, let say 1/4 to 1/2 and you can also grind some part were there is a clearance issue, here are some pics. BTW love those rims.:agree:

JDM all the way.

Sweet, just the info I needed.So +38 in a 15x7" rims is safe, would the frontend require narrowing?I'll go with the adjustable beam before I go for the drop spindles since they change the offset.Would any 1/4 or 1/2" spacer work for it since it will be a vw bug drum with the 4-100 bolt pattern? I was worried I would have bad steering ratios or they would stick out really bad like some people have told me.Thanks man.By chance could I see a pic of your bug from the front, just see a bug from the frontend with that 7" wide footprint.

the best thing about aircooled VW is that we have no studs on our drums or rotors, b'coz of this you can test fit the rims, by using two jacks, one is to push up the car and dismount the stock rims then lower it to it's original height, and then the other jack is to support the suspension to it's original height so you can test the rims if it will rub on any part.

Norrowing is not required, just a 1/4 spacer, but test fit it first b4 you buy a spacer.

Here's a pic.of the front, the rims are 16x7 with an off-set of +40, it is wrapped with 205/50R16 tires.
