Who is running 15x7 fronts?

I have a set of 15x7 et52.5mm phone dials with a 2" narrowed BJ beam with a 2-3" drop, 944N/A front disks on my 61'beetle with a 69' IRS pan.
Just wondering if anyone is running something similar, and tire size experiences.
Thanks Mark

I've never run that particular combo, but I know a 7"et42 on a 3" beam tucks stock fenders, and on a 2" beam it just fits. You will probably need spacers to get the deeper offset wheels away from the lower control arm so you have a decent turn capabilities.

Flat is right, I have a set of cookies. I stuck them on my Ghia just for kicks and they catch the lower ball joint. Almost sit on it. Stock beam, with lowered spindles. I had to buy a 16" or larger spare because the 15" inflate-a-spare did the same thing.

I know I'm okay as far as clearance to suspension and the fenders. I just need to finish assembly on my steering so I can find out how little steering I have nothing like waiting for parts..... again
Looks like I'll have to invest in some spacers and longer studs.
