Will 205 pattern vw wheels fit my car?

Post by louis356 »

I have drums on car and want to refurbish the wheels. saw on Evil bay that you can get some 205 5 stud pattern vw beetle wheels quite cheap (compared to Porsche ones!)

Will they fit my car?

5 inch ones or will I have to go 4.5 or even 4??

While mine are stripped and coated and rubbered

What do you think??

Any 15" 205 pcd vw rim will fit. They look pretty good too! Beware 14" 205 van rims they may not fit over your drums without spacers... :wink:

They're an inch smaller diameter! However, they do all take any domed or nipple vw/356 hubcap :wink:
