20's in the rear and 18's in front
So here's what I'd like to do and I'd like to know if it's either been tried or been done successfully....
4.5" wide fenders on the rear (Glass Action) to allow for 20's
3" wide up front (Glass Action) with a narrowed beam maybe 2"
By the way I have a '70 Type 1. Rubber would have to be low pro's of course... As well as adding disc brakes all around...

im working on that for someone now except he is planning on 20's all around. i think he has got his sights set on a set of Foose Nitrous 20x10 for the rear and 20x8 in the front wiith 2 inch fenders. i will keep you posted on how it works out . i will not know anything until the first part of march.

look at the post on Porsche wheels

most of those fronts are 7 in wide wheels. btw i may try and talk him into an 18 on the front so it doesnt look like a baja bug.

I got 18's with 225/40 under stock fenders, its all about the off set. The rear is just barely under the fender, with a turned down one spline. The front is a 4" Narrowed beam with drop spindles and disc brakes, I used a 8mm spacer and the front wheels are tucked nicely under the fender. I don't know about your application but this is a 62 Body with stock fenders on a 69 Chassis, you can see pictures at
