here is the rare 4 lug version, they only made 50 sets for a shop in Japan, this is most likely the only set in the US as MOON originally passed on the 4 lug version...
for 14mm lugs you can use the vanagon ones, perfect lenght an taper...

I was wondering about the 4 lugs. The catalog that Mooneyesusa sends you with the wheels shows them, but they weren't on their website. _________________ 808 (O > i < O) |

Looking at these wheels for my 67 Bug. It has a 3" narrowed beam with dropped spindles, and the stock 67 axles (I think), which is the first year for the longer ones from what I've seen.
What is recommended, the +13 for the front, and +21 for the rear, or should I just get +13 for all 4 corners? Looking at maybe 175/55 or 185/55 for the front, and 205/65 or 215/65 for the rear. I realize that 215/65 would be a bit squeezed on a 5" wheel.
Thanks for any advice ...
cheers
