Reply to "CMC Wide Body Wheels - Request for help"

Speedy1

I appreciate all the good advice.

I spoke with Kirk at VS who tells me I should use 17" x 8" rims with a 3.5" offset on the front and rear on my wide body CMC. I am planning on purchasing the same rims as Kirk has custom made. I believe they are used on the red car at the top of the first post. I am still trying to find out how some of the wide body cars I see on line with the same rims have what looks like much wider rims on the rear. Does anyone know how the guys are using much wider (deeper) rear rims? See the red car and silver cars higher up in this train of post. Are they using a different suspension other than a VW chassis?

I have a 65 VW chassis and CMC wide body I have disk brakes on front and rear. I do not have a IRS rear suspension.
