Fake Fuchs
After riding around for a year with a spare - I fitted it today and realised it doesn't clear my caliper (modified).
So anyway - if you've just changed your stud pattern to Porsche then this could be the spare for you.
14" - I think it is a 5.5 rim? It has no markings on the back, but does have a 185/50 tyre fitted with enough tread for a spare.
I'm also after a 15" spare tyre for my rim. So if you have something not too nice but not too bad to trade in we could work something out.

Very Early 911's came with 14inch Fuchs rims I believe.
I had one as a spare before and if you are using standard Beetle Calipers they should clear.
Cheers,

YEp, 14x 5.5 was a 'luxury' package pre '70 911. Grind the caliper to make clearance, you have a genuine Porsche rim if it's 14" and it will fit,
the calipers must be a universal replacement that have the larger boss on the side.
