KKtrips Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Could you get a less protrusive hubcap for the front wheels? /more dish on the wheels. (I think its in the works just waiting for a narrowed beam?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakotom Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Could you get a less protrusive hubcap for the front wheels? No. That's the 'VW scene kid look' I'm actually serious 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingbrick Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 K-trips..that's with the narrow beam. That's why it's so tucked. But I think the tuck is done for clearance reasons? So probably he won't go wider. Looks most excellent anyway. I vote going hubcapless and paint the tire lettering white lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
64valiant Posted September 11, 2015 Author Share Posted September 11, 2015 sadly nope wont be having more dish. with the narrow beam it allows my wheels to sit further in the guards which allows clearance which allows more low. cant do this hella flush look and slam at the same time like moddern cars do.space wheels out and i wont get any lock. not that i do atm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
64valiant Posted September 11, 2015 Author Share Posted September 11, 2015 so this is the amount of lock i get at the height it is.this is wheels straight wheels turned i dont even get a full rotation of my steering wheel. its about a 3/4 turn at the best.and thats the reason for narrow beam. so i can turn while been slammed (and i cant LOL) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archetype Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 I don't think there's actually anything wrong with your engine. A few months ago the Beetle overheard you saying that you'd put a rotary in it when the current engine dies, so it's just encouraging you to keep your promise. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
