None! Send them to me for disposal!
Seriously they will fit any wide 5 VW Beetle from mid 50's to 67. They fit the Bus up to 72 I believe. So and Buggy based on those cars will take those wheels. _________________ We had the stone age, the bronze age, the industrial age and now we are in the age of mass deception and mind control for corporate profit.

Things (type 181) and 1964 to 1970 Bus (type 2) used 14in diameter wheels.
The Things wheels were like a Bus wheel, with using inset wheel. Outer face of wheel was even with center where lug bolts fit.
Finding a tire that fits a 14in diameter wheel has become more difficult.
If you wanted to use them on your Thing there were places that made wider fiberglass fenders for them. _________________ Joseph

I have a set of 15" Bus wheels but they are much narrower than those. I use them on my sand rail with street tires when I flat tow it any distance. They won't take a very wide tire. _________________ We had the stone age, the bronze age, the industrial age and now we are in the age of mass deception and mind control for corporate profit.

I would buy those in a heart beat if we were closer. The shipping would be a killer. _________________ We had the stone age, the bronze age, the industrial age and now we are in the age of mass deception and mind control for corporate profit. (The mass media age) |
