hey my name is Stu

hey everyone glad to be a part of the forum. i live in abbtosford and i own a 1970 deluxe bus i bought from Carlos. i recently started working on it and i plan to lower it and do a custom interior. i havent figured out what kind of wheel and tire combo to run yet so any suggestions would be rad. looking foreward to meeting everyone. take it easy -Stu

hey stu, welcome to the ghetto garage!!!! from the pics i've seen of your bus, it kicks ass. cant wait to see it rolling.

as far as wheels & tires....thats a tough call. what's the bolt pattern on that bus & are you willing to change it (to porsche pattern or wide 5)?

thanks. can you describe the difference between wide 5s and the Porsche pattern?

hey guys I'm gonna move this to the back room...

hey stu....i'm pretty sure the bolt pattern on your bus is 5x205 (5 holes, 205mm from the center of one hole to the outside edge of the opposing hole). that is referred to as wide 5. (early beetles & buses).

porsche pattern is 5x130.

to measure bolt pattern, use the pic below as a reference....
