It's a 74 1303 same as mine with 2bolt struts.

5x100 rims are pretty easy to get in 17", alot of subis run factory 17" alloys same with alot of watercooled VWs.

Aircured, are you running a stock or narrowed beam?

ET40 works pretty well with standard bugs with 17x7 rims

Most standards need a slightly narrowed beam though with 17x7s if you want a turning circle better than a truck

Joel, Thanks for that info.

My Bug is a standard 1300-S GT Beetle.
The beam is stock - If there was a problem with 17x7, I have a guy that can cut the front wheels to 17x6...
