A buddy of mine just completed his VW FV build and he would like to start running some 6x13 rims at the local autocross events. He plans to upgrade to disks eventually. But, He's wondering what offset to use that will clear the calipers most everyone is using on their FFst cars. I think his plan is to order some custom-made steel rims so he can run the drums with the 4x130 bolt pattern until he can afford to upgrade brakes.

Hello rgu, the car belongs to a buddy of mine. He was road racing FV and FF back in the 70s and 80s and decided to build another car to autocross/TT. He has built the car from scratch within the current rules for FV. He designed the car on paper and came up with the front rocker suspension and zero roll for back end. When he can afford it he will upgrade to disc brakes and 13' rims/slicks.Quote:
