[QUOTE="Moseley, post: 627477, member: 20098"] If it’s any help, I’ve just fitted a set of 4” width stock Beetle wheels that have been banded outwards to 5.5” (you’d have to do the calc on what the new offset would be)! With a 195/65 tyre, it clears the arch by no more than 2 or 3mm at the rear under an early arch. There is more clearance once it is on the ground, the worst is as the tyre starts to tuck underneath it. Something to bear in mind, I believe the aftermarket steels that JK etc sell require the use of inner tubes. [/QUOTE]
