I got a great deal on some beautiful wheels and tires from a pt cruiser. Now all I have to do is figure out how to put them on my 70 baja bug. Any directions?? I been looking for adapters but no luck sofar, btw they are 16" tires. Any 4x130 16" wheels out there? thanx Mike

You can buy blank drums and have a machine shop drill them for the pattern you

Wow Its not going to be cheap I see. Here is one from UK http://www.status-vw.co.uk/shop/contents/en-uk/d258.html

This Guy did it and you might need some wide fenders for this.

If your lucky, you may, depending on where the bolt holes fall, use you present drums.

Well; I searched the web and came up with a product from "adapter Kings" that allows the requested change- I put them on today and they work GREAT.BTW - they were $80 each wheel so it was a good thing that I got the wheels and tires so cheap; it was also good that I baja'd the rear wheel wells. &^beer&

Sure! As I said I am NOT the ultimate car guy and the more I do on this project the more I prove it to myself. ferinstance; I just took off the rear drums and discovered that THERE'S NOTHING IN THERE!!!!!!!! Well I knew that this was gonna be an educational build, so now I gotta put some stuff in there. But these adapters from "Adapter Kings" work great with the PTCruiser wheels I got .Now to look up the parts I need for the rear brakes; any ideas? #banghead thanx Mike BTW- I tried to insert pix but can't figure out how to do it, gimme a hint.

Photos have to be uploaded to a Site say photobucket. You can then link to that site photo.
If you put [img before and after the link the picture will show. photobucket will even put the [img tags in for you.
Just copy the url and paste into the reply.
