wheels & wings (fenders)

[hot66]

My 66 cabrio has now got a IRS backend on it from a 1303. I've kitted the back end out with 1303 trailing arms, 944 adjustable spring plates, 944 vented discs etc & brembo calipers.

I have bolted up a 17x7.5" et 52 cup 2 wheel to check spacing etc.

This wheel just clears the bumpstop plate on the rear shock tower.

With the car on axle stands the outside of the wheel sticks about 20mm outside the wing. (see photo)



Now I know this combination can work on 1303 bugs so I'm hopeing when I get the rear suspension compressed the small amount of camber change should bring the wheel top inside the wing.

Does anybody else run this combination on a pre 67 car?

Is it possible 1303 wings are wider than pre 67 ones?

If not how can I bring the wheel back under the wing?

thanks

James
