cookie cutters

[vennard]

Got my eye on a set of 7 inch cookie cutter wheels. They have 205 60 R15 tyres on and I think came from an early eighties 944.

What mods would i have to make to get these under the arches of a 72 beetel with a swing axle rear.

I really dont want to have the hubs/discs drilled but spacers put another inch on the width so If they fit at all i think they will have to be drilled, or maybe flared arches????

You want late 944 ofsset wheels with the 52.3mm offset. the early 23mm will be way wide.

Thanks adrian, If I were to find some later ones will they fit with the spacers.

Unfortunately, I don't believe there are later cookie cutters. The phone dial rims came in both early and late offsets, though.

I have 7" cookie cutters with 195/50 tires on my late swing axle bug. It just tight fits on the rear but the front tires are scratching the arches when hard braking and cornering. I use Porsche stud pattern discs/drums.

Ah, there are 15 X 6" cookie cutters, though...
