Hi,
I just bought this beetle before it goes to the crusher.
The funny things about is it have wheel adapter with, what look like, gm wheel. The bolt pattern is 4-3/4 and they are 14in wheel.
Does anybody can help me find out the year and model of wheel they are?
Thanks for your help. _________________ Stephane Blanchet-Cote

If you just want the bolt pattern, take one to a tire shop and have them measure it. They have gauges that can identify the pattern within seconds, that is if they don't identify it on sight. |

I know the bolt pattern, i mesure it with a tape. They are 5x4-3/4.
What i would like to know is what year, model they use to be on.

Well they aren't from a Beetle. That pattern was for sure on some Chevy's. My guess is there is either an adapter in there or someone redrilled the drums to that pattern. |
