71 Wheels 14 's or 15's

[Mikes 71Bay]

I looking at a set of porsche rims for my 71 but I'm not sure if i should go with the 14's or 15's ??? Will the 15's change my speedo much? Will they hit the wheelwells?

VW bus wheels have a bolt pattern of 5 x 112.
Only VW buses, Mercedes, and Audi Turbo use this size. Not Porsche.....they are 5 x 130. And even if you figured a way to bolt them on, the offset is all wrong. Bus is an ET of 35. Porsche are either 25 or 45.

I'm a little out of my relm. Can't I have the rotors and drums drill and tapped to fit the porsche rims? Thanks Mike

If you go w/ the 15s,yes the speedo will be off about 10mi @ 60mi.hr. Empi makes adapters for the Porsche 5 spokes to convert VW 120 to Porsce 130, a little pricie at $80 bucks a pair. Repo center caps run $35 a pop.You can get the Drums and Roters tapped for 130mm price no idea. If you stick to a 5.5 width you won't have a prob. w/ the back space. Check CIP.com for $ and info.Hope this helps,DavidK 71Deluxe,69S/Cab
