I know that my Westy is 4 1/2, Will they work?
Thanks.

Only if you redrill and stud your hubs.

The Porsche 911/912 14" Fuchs wheel has a 5x130 Bolt Pattern with a 71.6mm Center Bore. This is the same dimension as the OLD VW bus. A stock Westy has a 5x112 Bolt Pattern, not 5x114.3 (4 1/2), and the 2.3mm difference will cause a problem.
Without alterations this wheel will not work, and given the age of them they should be completely checked for cracks especially if you do not know the history of them.
Feel free to PM me if you have any questions of what I am talking about.

Fuchs are forged so they are really strong but they are mostly 30 years old so I wouldn't use them on a bus. Just to heavy of a car.
