15" rims and 14" rims- beetle/Kombi exchange!!! Ho

Post by KKV270 »

Hi.
How practical is it to use the 14" kombi rims on my beetle? I have notices they are much more wide than the beetle ones. Will the front wheel turn normal without rubbing anything in there?

On the flip side, how safe are the 15" beetle rims safe on a kombi?
All rims in question are the 5-lug-nut rims for '67 year beetle and '70 Kombi.

Thanks you.
Just to mention- I'm really concerned about safety... as I'm trying to make good use of a set of 15" high profile tyres for large vehicles that I can't use on the beetle and need for the Kombi.
