Hi

I couldn't find it in your post, what size wheels are you running?

Steve

Hi. Those are IForged Essen 20x10 and 20x8 custom offset.

Hi

I've never seen 20s work has well as they have on your car.

The cars with 20s often looked jacked up or like a paying mantis.

Getting the stance on the front makes it look right I think, the top of the tyre is up inside the fender/wing/mudguard lip that's what does it.

Steve

Thanks Steve. You are right, how good a car looks depends on the stance. The relation of fenders/tire and rake front/rear makes or destroy it. I build the front 8 inches wide, but should build them 7 and reduce the front lip. So the front tire would be farter from the fender lip and the car front could be pushed down more. Also the the Spoiler helps on this.

Here you can see a car with 19inches at the same show.

Mine with 20inches, I reckon 19inches at front would make it look better.

Hi

Hate to knock other peoples cars but the tyres on that blue bug don't seem right, maybe the profile of the tyre is to too high.

Steve

Great job , love the stance. really nice color and wheels.
greetings from santo domingo. dominican republic.

man, your car is amazing! One of the cars on this forum, that I just can't stop staring at the pics of it :)
I was wondering what is the front tire dimension on the 20inch wheels? I guess I could use a taller tire in order to be able to install the kamei front spoiler... right now it would be hanging just too low.

Hi Steve! The front wheels are too wide to the fenders, so owner can not get down the nose. Tall tires not help too much!

Thanks! Any pictures of your Super Beetle?

Hi Xellex! You are not alone, me too!!! :D Thanks for the compliments!
I always like to read about your work because you do your work as I always used to do on mine. Buying parts, installing, modifying,etc!
My car suffered what you realized some time ago. With so many agresive modifications it ended been unpractical on the streets!
Right now will like to return some practicallity for the streets. Thinking of downsizing the wheels and more comfort suspension. So will like to know your experience with the LAPerformance struts?
The front tires are 225-30-20.:)

Hmm so your tire size would give 23mm more radius than what I have right now (205/40/17) which looks nice but is too damn low. Right now with the kamei spoiler on, I have 3-4cm ground clearance. What I have in mind is a 215/45/17 tire for the front. I think I could get away with it then.
About the LA Performance fron suspension, all I can say is that it's a great kit, awesome on the street also, thanks to the adjustability, but the downside in my case is that I can't adjust it a bit higher... I mean in the highest setting, it's still too low... I could use about 3-4centimeter more. But maybe I'm doing something wrong :P

Thanks. I am seriuosly considering those struts. Unfortunatelly load work had not allowed me work on the projects.
On the Kamei, I would made a shorter one on fiberglass based on the original one.:)

yeah that's probably the best idea, considering that I've been meaning to start playing with some carbon fibre, to see if I could make something out of it or not :)

measures which are the wheels?

:)
