Can anyone tell me what (if any) year rear wide 5 wheel hub will fit on a 74 beetle box with 4 stud hubs to fit wide 5 wheels??

Thanks

Why dont you just buy good quality adaptor plates. Vintage 02-9789-1777

The early rear brakes n hubs are narrower so you will have to fit the backing plate and brakes as well. You will also need a spacer to make up the different in the length of the spline

I read it on FACEBOOK so it must be true
