Is the offset for type 1 5 lug smoothies the same for type 3s?

No.

I don't know the difference though, only that they are different

I know they looked like a smoothie but had the 66'/67' style Hubcap mount from the type 1's

Isnt a Type 3 smoothie hubcap different than a 66-67 Bug hubcap? Like a little smaller or not as thick where the bead is that holds it on?

I think the T3 had a nipple cap on 5 lug???

The t3 hubcap is smaller around the lip near where it mounts. Also, the VW logo is different, it's lower than the rest of the middle part. Hard to describe but when you see one, the difference is noticeable.
