According to the Robert Bentley Manual for Volkswagen Beetle 1970 - 1979:

4.5Jx15 Wheel
1974 Super Beetle offset (ET) 41mm
Karmann Ghia offset (ET) 46mm
Other Late Models offset (ET) 34mm

4Jx15
Rims used on cars other than Karmann Ghia Prior to March 1972 have a 40mm offset.

5.5Jx15
1973 Sports Bug offset 26mm
1974 has the same wheel size with an offset of 34mm

Wheels for 1974 Super Beetles and Sports Bugs cannot be installed on earlier cars that have strut front suspension.
