this is my daily driver, a 69 BUG fitted with a 1600cc, disc brakes and custom free flow exhaust.
i am going to change the wheels and tires to FUCHS Porsche 16". with 205/55/16. i hope they fit, looking for adapters now for the transition.
do check out my website, and the cars in our country BANGLADESH.

Hi Asad, the 16" fuchs will fit but I would suggest a couple of things to make everything come together smoothly. Since you are running disk brakes, have the rotors drilled to the Porsche pattern (5x130 mm) and stay away from adapters. In the rear you can run pre-drilled Porsche pattern drums (Or have your 4 lug drums redrilled) That will save you an inch per wheel. Also, I would recommend narrowing the beam atleast 2 inches with 205x55 16"s.

CB Performance has all of this. good luck
