Post Rims for '65 Beetle Reply with quote
I'm looking to buy some new rims for my 1965 Beetle. They're often advertised with 3-3/4 inch or 4-1/2 inch back spacers. Does it matter which spacers you get? Is it merely a matter of appearance or is there a technical reason why you need one instead of the other?

Thanks in advance.

Scott

both Scott,

you may need to move your wheel out so it does not rub th inside area of wheel well. but going to far can cause some tire vibrations and wear out bearings.
