If they are 3cm wide, it's possible to modify the arms... but it makes maybe same work than just machine whole new hub! _________________ www.super2cv.com |

And its not necessary to make hub all new, old can be a bace and new
"adapter part" can be welded on it. When wheel is even close to original
offset you dont need to change bearings every summer.

Olli-Mr Negative or what???
Lets just see what the guy comes up with first. There are a number of different offsets availiable in the VW range and lets face it, you cant get any good 2cv wheels anymore . If the offset is correct there should be no need to replace wheel bearings every year .
Once he has made them i will try a wheel on the rear of my standard 2cv to see if it clears the rear wing/fenders .
Dule-Yeah mate thats the stud pattern i'm on about, 205PCD(wide five).
Should be plenty of room in the middle to loose the 2cv hub. Not sure about covering the centre though. Surely if you fit the standard rim like your photo, you would also fit the hubcap as well?
And if you fit RADAR or similar alloys, then the centre is covered by the design of the wheel.
If i can borrow a few different types of VW wheel i will try them all on my 2cv to check for clearance . _________________ If it works ok, "LEAVE IT THE FUCK ALONE". |

I have decided that the truck will be going on EBAY very soon for sale.
I have lots of ideas for other projects but empty pockets at the moment so she has to go. Its a real shame to sell another of my cars but i have no choice. _________________ If it works ok, "LEAVE IT THE FUCK ALONE". |

Thanks Silc, but yes it has to go. I have a lot of ideas and no space for anything else. The money will be useful as well _________________ If it works ok, "LEAVE IT THE FUCK ALONE". |

213 People watching, two offers of the reserve price and one offer £150 over the reserve.
I CAN FEEL ANOTHER PROJECT COMING ON .
