You have to be careful. I'm not sure how far out the 5 bolts go, but you have to be careful where you remove metal/strength and make sure that things go on well centered. There's also the question of fender clearance and canitlevered load on the wheel bearings if you offset the wheels outwards. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- Search old messages on the Web!
