So its been awhile since i've posted anything on the samba, But here i am back working on the bug in the finishing stages. Have all 4 extra wide fenders on the bug and now im looking to see what size rim and tire i can get away with. id like to get away with 17 or 18 inch rims but i want a fat tire in the back. the bug is lowered with the drop brackets in the back, 1.5 inch drop spindles in the front along with a 2 inch narrowed beam. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! One last thing im running the chevy/porsche drilled brake rotors all around so i have more of an option on rims.
