"For some reason my wife refused to travel with me in my Bond Bug (which I love very very much). She cited some half-baked nonsensical reasons such as inherent instability and a total lack of any carrying space whatsoever. However, as I am a caring husband I undertook to address these concerns for my dear lady and life companion. I promised her the ultimate gift that would quite simply bring us eternal marital bliss. I grafted alone in the garage for 4 years and finished just in time for her 50th birthday. She was positively bursting with anticipation when the big day came. I wheeled out my ultimate gift to her - a four-wheeled bug with an 8 inch rear extension plus porthole window. Tragically, at this very point she seemed to suffer some kind of cerebral prolapse, causing her to burst into tears after which she burned down our house and ran off down the street throwing shoes at passers-by. Last I heard, she moved in with a 26-year old male nurse called 'Terry' who has 'big arms and a normal car'. Anyway, its lovely to see you in the flesh at last, so much better than a grainy digital picture on the internet, can I get you another drink?"

The rears look like 10s. *n standard it should be 10" all round, dunlop steels like usedo n minies, i shouldnt think you can get away with changing the front wheel to any thing else, and it wont be strait on the car iff the offset is different, and theres not much room in there for a bigger wheel.
