hey guys, I think I posted this before, but it may have been lost?

anyways, what stud pattern is our beetle?
4/1970, 1500, with disc brake front and the narrow 4 stud (not wide 5)

thanks in advance?

4 stud as you know and 130 pcd (pitch circle diameter).

Only thing similar is the 914, ie 2l fuchs.

I had thought that as an easy solution you could try using 924 drums and rotors as they are essentially the same (would give you 4 x 108- I think- same as peugeot), but probably the easiest thing to do is just buy blanks and get them drilled to what ever pattern you want- then fit the wheels you desire.... Unless you desire empi 8 spokes or similar or globes etc

I'm currently doing the wheels thing myself. it seems possible that it may just work out cheaper to get custom wheels made to suit the PCD. but then I'm after 16" x 7" and 61/2". or something. not a lot of wheels out there that'll fit that bill with a 130 PCD.
