15" Narrow-Five (5x112) Steel Wheels

[gvee]

Hi all,

Did VW ever do a 15" steel in the narrow-five (5x112) stud pattern?

Specifically I would love to find a set that would accept the hubcaps I have knocking around in the garage (they fit a standard 14" narrow-five wheel).

Cheers,
George

Beetle wheels are exactly that ... but not sure if I'd use them on a bus. Strength, width, lip style and offset should all be checked.

I thought beetle wheels were either wide-five (5x205) or a narrow-four (4x130) pattern?
Will have a search around, cheers

Your correct, and No i dont think vw ever did 15" but I think Merc may have done and it's not quite 5/112 but close enough.

T4 wheels are 15" and 5x 112mm pcd.

T4 wheels are 15" and 5x 112mm pcd.

I stand corrected, what width are they?

 

[sparkywig]

They're 6", Alex, and come in either ET 44 (early T4), or ET 55 (late T4).

I think there was a wheel offered for the T25/T3 Syncro that was 5x112 and 15" .... not common though!

I've managed to uncover a set of 15" T25 wheels. Messaged the seller asking about whether they will fit T25 caps...

Will try and see if I can find something T4'ey. But I'll bet they won't fit caps. Nice to have a choice of offset though!

Thanks chaps

Steve 67 bay - on here has Audi 5x112 steels in 15 inch ,there's also merc and mk5 golf steels that would fit.
Don't think any will accept a trim but you could fit/rivet clips to make them fit I suppose ..

Whilst searching around for some steels I've found some different wheels I really like but they're 6.5J.
Is that going to be too wide?
Offset is 35-45 (I think they come in two sizes).

Ambitious or rubbish? :msn4:

Oops my mistake. Just went out to have a look at the beetle and you are definitely right! Not sure what I was thinking :?
