Any ideas on my quandry nomates on how to get wide 5's to fit the fasty?



off the top of my head ....re-drilled rears and new disc convertions up front (could be expensive)...

but first I would ask on T3 detectives forum (i think ,the one scoops goes on) ...

personally i wouldn't go that route ,as wide fives would be hastle , expence ....and maybe not look right ....however porsche pattern is widely excepted as a stud pattern change .....

I'm thinking gas burners .....or cosmics Cool

what he said......4x130 to 5 x 130 porker is relatively easy...watch the offsets as t3 & bug offset is way different!!

what about some NSU RO80 rims??.......cool as & in 5x130.....cheaper than fusch

Gutted cos really like the Radar wheels, think they would suite the
fasty down to the ground! Really like the fuchs but fancy something a little different, the cosmics are sweet, not too sure
about the burners, although sometimes I think they'll look cool,
NSU wheels Impy? you sure? need to have a closer look at those.

Rusty stock rims for the time being I think, should be rolling on those
within a month too! Cool

narrowed front beetle beam conversion and then wide 5 disc kit on the rear would be cool as.

I was thinking about a narrowed front beam but was worried about having to cut up the car too much to acheive it, not quite sure about the extent of body mod i.e. cutting the front luggage space away to fit. certainly would solve it though Smile

no body work cutting, its a type 1 beetle beam modified to fit.

heres a couple of links, and worth a chat to type 3 detectives.

Yep, seems seems like a T1 balljoint beam with dropped spindles is the option. Read both threads from top to bottom and it all seems pretty complicated to me of little mechanical knowledge or ability.

Your spot on about having a chat with the detectives, laymans terms is what i need lol!

Cheers for links Andy
