the fronts should fit fine with a 3" narrowed beam.
the 9" rears about going to be a problem under stock fenders your probably gonna need spacers and at least a 1 to 1.5" wider fender

ok went and bought these wheels over the good old ebay.
now....tires. from searching on ebay................again, ive found wheels for sale that are 17x7 wheels have a 205/50/17 tyre on them and the nine inch rears have 255/ 40/ 17 tires on them. i think i'll buy them in the U.S. because a friend of mine can bring them over in his container in a few weeks. are these the sizes i should be looking for on a bug. im also looking a tyre that has good road holding characteristics but yet performs very well in rain. im in ireland. best prices ive found seem to be here: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/Compar...t=All&x=96&y=5 any advice greatly appreciated. |

as tall as most stock tires. Your not going to be able to lower the front a whole lot with a tire that tall. 205/45/17 is going to be 24.25" tall (about the same height as a skinny 145) 205/40/17 is going to be 23.5" tall (about the same height as a skinny 135)

for the front, I like a 205/40/17... but thats just me. if I was only going to lower it maybe 2 inches, then 205/45/17.

205/45/17 for lowering about 2" 205/40/17 for lowering 3" or more inches These are for 7" wide wheels. For the rears, if you are using 9" wide wheels, you will probably want to run 255/40/17 or 255/45/17
