Porsche wheels on type 3

[Bryan67]

Why can`t they be redrilled? And in case you missed my earlier post, ISP buys the hubs from CB Performance and marks them up.

CB has similar hubs and 914/6 rotors that can be BOUGHT in 5x130, you have to email them to buy, its part of one of their brake kits, not listed in their catalog separately., Hubs $120 ea, so a bit cheaper than ISPWests mostly non-usable ones.

The rotors should work great too if you already use them.

I'm trying to find some workable front aluminum hubs for BJ spindles...
Wilwood has a couple that might work, the way they dimension info they provide makes figuring that out a headache, or I might just weld some different spindle spuds in for a wider choice.

Wilwood omit the bearing dimensions and only provide their bearing/race part#s, so you can't just tell at a glance as proper drawings w/full dimensions would provide.

The rest of the dimensions are shown in a table as apparently their CAD program sucks, so they use the same drawing for all rather than have normal dimensions in the drawing.

You'd have to still drill for 5x130, they don't do custom, even if that is all they sell.

Just wanted to clear up some misinformation in this thread.

ISP's chromoly hubs are ISP's chromoly hubs. Made specifically for us.

We currently offer 6 different hubs:

- 4x130 - LONG or SHORT AXLE

- 5x130 - LONG or SHORT AXLE

- BLANK (FOR YOU TO HAVE DRILLED) - LONG or SHORT AXLE

There are 8 holes in the 4x130 for either screw in stud or press in stud.

There are 10 holes in the 5x130 for either screw in stud or press in stud.

Here are the links (you can choose either short or long axle):

4x130 - http://www.vwispwest.com/GA-501581.html

5x130 - http://www.vwispwest.com/GA-501581P.html

Hope that clears it up.

Here are my 15x6 Fuchs on my 65' Notchback.

Next project is a '69 Fastback. Anyone know if I can fit Fuch 16x7's on it all the way around and what is a preferred tire size for fronts and backs?

I am doing to do a Type 1 4-inch narrowed beam up front and disc brake conversion to 5x130 Porsche pattern rotors.

Thanks,

Brian

you'll need to post the wheel offset and understand that most here dont and wont use a type 1 beam on a type 3

Thanks. I am not stuck on the Type 1 beam and also looking at the AirKewld Type 3 Air ride kit: https://www.airkewld.com/Classic-VW-Type-3-Front-Air-Ride-Kit-1105-p/1105.htm

I'll look at the wheel offset tonight and post follow up message.

[Boogievan]

That's very much a type one beam. Just has thru rods and air shocks, and the mounts are designed to bolt onto a type 3.

Super nice setup, but it's not at all based on a type 3 beam.

[piledriver]

I have et52.3 6x16s on the front with 1" spacers (early 944T Fuch manholes)
...so that's roughly equivalent to et35.
...So 7s at et23 might work depending on the tire and ride height if you dig the classic 911 Fuchs or cookie cutters.

6s would be a better plan if you are baggin it, a late car can run 8s and 245s out back with some effort, but you'd need to tub the inner fenders to get ~any suspension travel with big rubber.
(This on a T3 beam, with bars and modded/revalved Bilstein small bodied coil overs, built to for idiot avoidance, not to drag the ground)


With 205-55s they fit well within the wheelwell and get full steering travel with no rub, but I'm not slammed, just a little below stock, maybe an inch and a half, I'm not riding on my bumpstops (and am running much larger progressive foam bumpstops which work extremely well, from late model Mustang)

Unfortunately the only way to be sure is try it.

It has a 23.3m offset. I think they are off a 944. Is there anything I can do to narrow the rear fitment at all? Is the ideal tire size 205/50/16? Thanks for the insight guys.

Factory original 16x6 Fuchs on my Ghia, short axles and tubes in the rear, stock T3 beam up front.

Nothing as dramatic as most the options in this post, but I will be running 356 Lemmertz wide five steelies on my 64 notch.
