I thought there was just 4, 4.5 and 5" rims and some 5.5 aftermarket ones. Nope - was way off - was over at Harrys and looking at some of his bugs - I saw several different "stock" wheels on his supers as well as the stuff on standards. Did a seach and there are some type 3 variations as well - so please educate me on what all stock wheel widths/backspacings are there - and this would make a great sticky!!!!

I have 3 sets of 4.5" wide stock steel wheels. They are 34mm,41mm & 46mm offset! The offset is stamped on the hump between the lug bolt holes.
