I thought all 4 bolt Porsche wheels were 130 pcd just like VW's and normal Porschebut 4 instead of 5 bolt

Where did you find them???

Hi

They wont fit a 4 stud bug, Im pretty sure that they are 4 x 100 mm. But if you wanted to fit the 924 drums & discs to your car they would fit.

You might want to check, cause 914's Had the same 130pcd as Late VW! If they do they would be a pleasant change from all the regular wheels that fit onto stock brakes! 924 basically ran with VW suspension including Trailing arms and struts! Dont see why they would have changed the brakes either (stud pattern is what I mean!)

N!

They won't fit a Beetle but will fit on a Golf/Passat (with spacer on the front)

Hi

The 924 drums & rotors can be fitted to 4 stud bug, opens up a whole new world of alternative wheels.

Hi

The 924 had rear drums, they are the same as 4 stud beetle apart from the stud pattern, same deal with the front rotors.
