20" wheels or bigger on a bug

if you a the person who are still wandering what it takes to install different wheel and bolt pattern combination on your bug you are in the right place. some people believe that 17" wheels is the biggest wheels you could stuff under the fenders but that is not true the combinations are infinite is all about what makes you happy and how cool will the car look with newer wheels. Dare to be different I love the EMPI 5 Spoke or the Rader Wheels but all I think about is that everybody have does. how many people seen those bugs at the car shows with newer wheels they get most of the attention but what about 22" on a bug look at this

with the help of coil overs everything gets in place very nicely first you need a 1/2 inch spacer so the coils will clear

one more thing depending on the offset you might have to use a spacer I used a hi offset so i had to used a 2 inch spacer so the rim could clear the heim coilover adapter
