Hi Guys
It looks like I might have a choice of what type of wheels and hubs to go with.
What do you all think is the best??? Wide 5, regular 5, or regular 4????? Wheel adapters or not???
Thanks
MoblMec

What is the benefit of using a 4 hole disc with adapters? I would think a regular vw 5 lug would be optimal for both wheels and discs. There are several wheels and disc brake kits available for 5 lug. I have a real hard time finding stuff for the 4 lug.

The strongest in order, Dirt track wide 5, VW wide 5, standard Chevy or Ford 5 bolt, VW 4 bolt.

Both the VW and dirt track wide 5 bolt pattern are to big to be drilled into a standard rotor.
