@Juggular yes I set the camber to almost straight. Also removed the toe in by swapping left and right uprights.

This is with the tires you recommended. They are quite big. 

But they do give me the clearance I need.

I am hesitant to take them for a spin as the feel very soft. I'm afraid the pavement I ride on will wear them down quickly. I rather save them for when I go on grass again. How is their longevity?

Edit: I need to make the body sit higher. They rub the rear fenders :-(

Those wheels look great on the rally chassis

I love what you did with the bumpers  I built one of these for a friend who wanted a Salzburg replica, so I designed and 3D printed some square bumpers - they made such a difference to the look!

Would you happen to be willing to share the stl of those bumpers? I've got an extra Beetle body I want to make like my old 72 Beetle.

Any tricks on getting these decals to look good on a curved surface? And to stay down? The edges of some stickers on my Ghia keep peeling.
