alrighty, got wide 5's on my buggy front and rear, with drums front and rear also...

are wide 5's originally off beetles or what?

Do you mean wide 5 as in the gap between the holes or wide as in a wide wheel.

The wide 5 came on all split buses and 68-69 bays, they also came on early type 3's and early beetles I think until 1967.

Cheers
