I have a set of Bug offset Riviera wheels. I measure about 6-1/2 inches outside width. I can't imagine that the rim thickness is more than 1/8", so the inside bead dimension must be about 6 to 6-1/4" inches, or so. I have seen specifications that state that Riviera's are only 5-1/2 inches wide. Were Rivieras made in different widths?
Also, I read on Pelican Parts tech that they are not to be auto-crossed, but the article did not say why. Is there some inherent flaw/weakness with Rivieras? I assume I can get a 205 tire mounted on the Rivieras. Is it safe to mount a 215? I have fender flares that can accomodate the width/offset (not shown in the picture). Attached image(s)

The club has a special order 15x7 inch steel chrome wheel with the CORRECT offset available.
www.jbugs.com You have to call, it's NOT on the website. Get the RIGHT wheel and you can use a 205 or a 215....stop using 30 year dealer installed aftermarket VW crap. |
