Porsche Wheel Adapter Clearance Issue?

Post by 1966veedub »

I'm interested in installing some Porsche Cookie Cutters on my '66 using the VW 5-lug pattern to Porsche adapters. I know if I had the $, I'd opt for pre-drilled wheel drums, but funds are limited. Can you tell me of any clearance problems I might run into? I plan on using 15" x 6"W Cookie Cutters, most likely for in-town cruising, nothing long distance. I'll keep the bug at stock height and will most likely be using 165 R15 radial tires. Thanks!

Check the backspacing. Most adapters add a half inch of track per side so those cookie cutters are probably going to stick out. If you're staying at stock height you probably won't have much of an issue unless you bottom the suspension out somehow.
