Pros and Cons of Narrowed Beam vs Widened Fender/Wing/Guards

[AusSuper]

all i can tell you is the turning circle is huge compared to stockish super, was a 2" narrow job and 17x8" wide wheels, and rubs on the inner arch (main body) at full lock unless the steering stops are adjusted properly, other than that its nice, i just hate the turning circle and the rubbing, hope that helps, wide fronts for supers are easy to find, fiberglass ones that is, ive seen a fair few standard bugs with them aswell, perhaps ask around at vw shops etc, i scored one of those old porsche style kits from Custom Bugs & Busses for $20 when i lived in sydney, abit of glass work and paint gives you a nice set of wide guards, about 2.5" all round, failing that, Volksconversions on the gold coast make all kinds of glass guards and other ugly kits, the pick of the bunch would be Aeros from V-force or Vintage VeeDub, ask Alex (blue racing oval) off here about them

there are places that do stock styled widen guards as well as others.
as previously mentioned v force, vintage and volks conversions. but there is also fibre fab in melbourne and a couple of others. fibre fab was about 300 a set plus about 150 for shipping to sydney. personally id go the aeros if i was to do it again its ether that or get the guards rolled to widen them

i didn't do the requisite search, but i believe there are plenty of guys with 7et50's under stock fronts (maybe those were all supers though). are you sure you can't tuck those under with a stock beam?
