    Just looking for a set of wheels to get a porsche to a spray shop and im wondering if the wheels off a beetle would do the job, i had a 1977 Beetle and i think that year would suit, Maybe someone here knows for sure,

    Nope, Merc sprinter and NSU RO80 have the same PCD (5x130)

    ..unless it's 914? Then 70's beetle wheels will fit.

    I thought the porsche was a 5 x 130 ?? Maybe im wrong but did the 1977 beetle not have 5 x 130 ?
    This is what i have found out on the web but i have no beetle wheels to confirm this

    356's had wide five fitment (5x205) as did early beetles, 912's might have had 5x205's but as Justin said 914s had 4stud 4x130 PCD same as late model beetles. Porsches are 5x130. VW buses from the BayWindow on have 5x112

    So which Porsche do you have?

    Sorry, I meant the same as Porsche - 5x130.

    68+ beetles are 4x130 (think about it - EMPI 8 spokes)
