I've been looking for some wheels for ages for my motor and nothings tickling ma fancy! Now, I know someone who is selling some 7.5x17" 5x112 chrome wheels which would look awesome on my beetle giving it that real hot rod low-rider look when lowered, so what are my options for making these wheels fit e.g. re-drilling, adaptors etc. And has anyone on here done something like this, any help mucho appreciated, cheers

Your best bet would probably be redrilled drums and discs. These are available from www.machine7.com. You might be able to use adaptors if the offset is deep enough but I prefer the redrilled hub route. But mike at machine 7 should be able to tell you waht you need mate. |

Good stuff mate will give them a ring 2moro, how much do you reckon a set of 4 re-drilled drums/discs should set me back? I suppose the only disadvantage to someone like me who likes to change wheels regularly is you then have to change back when you want a change...

Well 5x112 is 'small 5' in VW Camper terms, the later PCD carried over onto the transporter range and therefore, i think, the same as Carltons, Volvos, Mercs and a few others. As such, adaptors should be easily available, try Kinky Micks as I'm sure he can source quite a few different adaptors. Worst case I'm sure there'll be some way of using later T2 (1965>) brake parts mixed up with some beetle ones to provide the correct PCD. |
