I have the VVDS kit on the front of my beetle - the beuty if this kit is they do not widen the track at all (in fact they reduce it slightly)....these
are wide 5.
There are many overseas options including but not limited to those available from CB performance. On my old ragtop I had the CB discs front and rear
in porsche pcd however they do both in wide 5 (but again their fronts increase the track slightly).

Nope - there is no such thing as a wide 5 disc brake set-up from the factory (not even Porsche).
Some 356's had disc but they had gone to 5x130 (with the steel wheels - 356C from memory).
Your only option is after market - but there is plenty to choose from:
CB
CSP
Sherman (Sold his business yet?)
Wilwood
etc. etc.
Cheers.
