Hi there, it's been a while since I posted. I will be getting my car back tomorrow or the next day, RUST FREE! Being 17 years old, I worked two jobs for the last six months and realized I'll actually have money left over for rims! I'm debating whether I'll do a 5 lug conversion, or stick with the 4 lug. Anyone post what you've got, right now fuchs(replicas of course) are at the top of my list, but I want to see other ideas. Thanks and have a nice day! Here's my 71, only 90k miles! Finally coming together

Those are the 15x5.5 Rivieras? What size tires are you running? I think that's the size. Honestly didn't measure. The tire size is 195/60/15. Rears rubbed and I decided to "modify" the inside lip a little. These tires were on the original steelies and had zero rub. I've just always liked the rivieras. |

I've just always liked the rivieras.Same goes for a 914 wheel on a VW ... they fit further in, and typically rub on the front suspension unless you run spacers. I wouldn't run anything wider than a 195 tire with the VW wheel's back-spacing, unless you roll the rear fenders, although some have had good luck running 205s. |
