- One of the reasons for so many widths has to do with the "legality" of alternate wheels for SCCA racing. When the Bugeyes first raced, they did so on stock wheels of 3.5" width. There were a number

- One thing to watch out for Mike is that the front track on a Bugeye with drum brakes is 9/16" narrower than a car with disk brakes. The wheels that Moss and VB sell will hit the nut on the tie rod en
