Sure these have been asked a thousand Times before. I've tried the search thread but keep getting people's build threads that I lose myself in for a couple of hours (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Ok question one. What are the largest width of wheel that will fit under standard arches? Also my car is a 1.7 which I want to upgrade. I grew up in a family that all had old beetles and my first car was a beetle with a 1.6 twin choke carb. Am I better to upgrade the 1.7 or go for something bigger. The cars only going to be a fair weather car here in the UK. Thanks Chris |

I used to run 15x195x65 and had them on both deep sixes and the flat replica sixes in the picture on my old slab sided 1.8
To me they were a great balance of grip in the dry and just enough fun in the wet to break away / be very controllable with rather the underpowered engine I also agree with others enjoy it for the summer. Have a think about what you want to do and maybe build a hotter engine up ready to do a swap (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) |
