Hi all

First posting so go easy ! I'm thinking of taking my Speedmasters off my kab, and putting them on an early Squareback. Would the offset work (they're +21)
I'm not sure if its been done as I cant find a pic anywhere of SM's on Variants - but I guess that might be 'cos it wont work !!!

Tony

On the kab' :

Hi Tonser sweet bug mate , and welcome .

The only problem I can see is the fact rims are 5 stud and square is a 4 stud , so would need adaptors i think , this may then kipper the good offset the Speedmaster wheel has ? Tim will know Wink

Hi Grazy, thanks for the reply and welcome.

The Square' is a South African 66, so is on wide 5 drums all round - no adapters needed. I'm hoping the offset will be OK ?

Cheers

Tony

is the front beam standard width?

i'd have thought they'd go on, is there much stopping you just trying them?

Hi Tim

Yep the beam is standard. I havent bought the Square yet so I cant try them ! Just sounding out the options before I take the plunge.

The South African 66 didnt work out, but theres a UK 66 which I'll go for. Its on 4 stud drums at the mo, so I'll fit a CSP wide5 disc kit to the front, nd fit early T3 drums to the rear.

Hopefully the offset will work out !

I dont know if they are the same off set but my repop 5.5 gasburners wouldnt fit the square, (no arch clearance) but there is always a way of making things fit. Nice Cab by the way

Hi Kingfast

Which stud pattern were your Burners ? According to the SSP site, the offsets are ET35 for the Porsche 5 stud, and ET 22 for the 4 stud rim.

Hopefully yours were the 5 stud ! I have to convert the fronts to CSP discs, and the rears to earlier hubs which is going to be quite pricey - especially if the rims then dont fit !

Cheers

Tony

They would look good if they do fit !

if they do fit they will look cool Cool but if you have to modify to get them to fit , you will have a unique vw Cool just wether you consider the costs involved to out weigh the coolness of speed master on your square .

I consider a set for my square at one point Wink

The one thing you're gonna have to bear in mind is the CSP disk kit will widden the track of the front, but, a friend of mine has just had a CSP kit fitted to his notch and the MWS Radars he's got still fit without any clearance issues Smile

BTW is the offset a US or UK ref as I know they measure it differently to us.

Hope that helps
