For me 2 solutions.  The second with skinny tires or the last combo.

I like the Cragar's, with matching front/rear BFG tyres.  Mis-Matched sizes was more of a Beetle thing.
Steelies with big chrome-dome hub caps was also popular here.

Thanks guys!

I have been searching for those Fly Wheels. They are older than I did remember.
Most of them is from the 2005 Road Champs Hot Rod 5 pack.
There is a few on the ebay.
I remember I bought 5 packs of those to get 4 of each ones.

My hight/stance will be somewhere between these two




This is not a slammed build, but if I do that later, this is the hight I'm looking for.
Yes I do love lowered cars. I'm in favor of lowering road cars, and lift off road vehicles 



I do like Craigars, steel wheels and Minilite types I made. The BBS ones is just a try to see if I they could be modded.
My favorite wheels on older VW's is most probably Fuchs wheels.

Found a file for 3d printed M chassis Fuchs wheels.
I will test those into the barrels. Might end up as my favorittes.
My mate who is doing printing for me is on vacation so might take a while before he can help me.

Think I've found my new favorite setup, again lol.

I have 3 of these HPI Vintage 5 spoke wheels that is now discontinued that has done nothing in about 10 years...


Take the wheel and a wheelaxle in insert it into the drill, and lathe away till it matches the inner diameter of the barrels I use...


I really like this


Made a staggered set (different offsets)


These are very similar to the EMPI 5 spoke wheels as here, but they are even closer to the American Racing Torque Twist wheels.


I like this!

Made a simple 239wb mock up chassis this aftternoon.




A bit easier to place the wheels where I want





This body will most probably not be driven so I might build a styrene chassis for it a bit later.

Anyone else keep hearing "This is not the greatest bus in the world, no, this is just a tribute" in their head? ;)
