have you seen the pics of my wheel / fender clearance on the link I posted? Has your set up pushed your wheel further out than that?

How much clearance do you have between the inside lip of your wheel rim & the shock tower bump stop?

With the setup I'm running this bumpstop is very close to the wheel rim.

If you move the wheel to far in this will need machining down & also the distance to the spring plate must be considered.

At the moment I'm waiting until I get some weight back into the car & see how the suspension settles out before making any modifications.

I have seen may bugs run this combination of wheels , suspenson & brakes, all with standard fenders (although these do tend to be super beetles (1303's) )
