Did these 5-spoke wheels fit over the rear hub?

amadeu pires

hi,
take a look in the hub of a bay window and tell me how can we attach a Empi 5 spoke wheel on there?
at a first look I can't figure how the wheel has room for that spike in the middle of the hub.
can anybody tell me?
thanks
Amadeu

i have a set of 5 spokes on my 70 single cab and they fit but you might have to use the longer center caps as to the short center caps as i think the axle nut is farther out make sure your tire size is not too fat as they will not fit on my 69 double cab as the tires are too fat[/img]

Those wheels will not support a bus that is loaded. There is not enough load bearing material around the stud holes.

For Beetles only! On the front we still had to use a spacer to get them to fit.
I will never ever use those rims again. Big headache in my opinion.
