Reply to "Vintage 550 for sale - details below"

Most Vintage Spyders run a 5.5" rear wheel with a smaller backspace, thereby pushing the rear tires outward a little. They can do this because all Vintage Spyders run a short axle setup. Just about all Spyders run a 4.5" in the front.

I think what Eric is seeing is the slightly inset from normal(at least on a replica) of the 16 x 3.5" wheels that look, at least to me, about the same offset as VW 4.5" wheels.

FYI, the Beck Spyders typically run a long rear axle, and use stock 4.5" front and a custom widened 5.5" rear. But they are widened to the inside and look the same as the fronts.
