Wheel Update | 356 Speedster, 550 Spyder, Replica, Automotive Community

The original wheels had two much backspace -- 4 3/8" -- and looked flat. I scored some 4.5x15 Mangel wheels with the correct backset. Added a Speedster column drop, too.

@cruzpch Looking good! thumb

Looks good- but then, I like how it looked with the first set as well. You are a stickler for detail! Were the wheels originally on it 4½ or 5½" wide, and what size tires are you running?

Both sets are 4 1/2” wide. It’s the backspace that’s different. The tires are 165HR-15’s. I had to diddle with the clips, but here it is with hubcaps
