There happens to be a 1303 "hot rod" on the Samba in the classified section. It may give a clue to the rear.
Thanks.

correct, same things different names, oh, my wheels, similar to joels, post above this, because i have rear discs sit about 8mm further out each side, & with the same 17x8 et+6 i have about 2" clearance from tyre to spring plate/upper bump stop bit, they should sit just inside the guard, havent had the body on the floorpan to see just yet though but by calculations its pretty close
** note, theres no floor under the body with those shots, thats just loose measuring of where they will sit
I have photos of narrow springs with +45s on the strut to compare to the +6's if you like, also think i have comparisons for the rear also
