Is there anything on the market as a spacer/adapter from 5x130 (Porsche 911/914) to 4x130 (Beetle) or is that something I would have to make myself?

I assume you have drums drilled for 5x130 and want to put on 4x130 wheels?

I've never seen adapters but even if they are out there, adapters are a bad idea.

Glenn,
It's actually the other way around. I have 4 x 130 on the car and the rims are Porsche with 5 x 130 hole pattern. I also have discs in the front which means I cant just go and redrill some drums.

That makes better sense.

CIP sells them:

You can of course re-drill the front rotors to accept the new pattern..
Or buy them already drilled if you dont have a local guy that does it.

Thats what I would do, infact my 59 vert came with 4 lug disk up front and I had them drilled to 5 lug Porsche pattern and the rear 4 lug drums can be drilled and studded to Porsche 5 lug or you can just buy all new pre drilled rotors and drums like they said above.
