4" instead of 4.5" rims

[Intrinsic]

I picked up a set of 4x15 rims to go on my 70 Fastback. Now, I realize that I needed 4.5 inch rims.

The narrow rims are in great shape, so I am thinking of using them. Will the narrow width cause any problems, with tire fit or handling?

Thanks

I would be scared to drive on 4" let alone 4.5"

I kind of agree with Vlad.
You can run the 4" with 165's as stock VW, but it won't handle as good as 5.5" with 185 & 205.

paint them up two-tone VW colors.
