Does anyone know if I can fit 5.5 x 14 inch Porsche fuchs to my 67 beetle. These are original from 911E. Part number 901 361 016 00 and have a 41mm offset. Beetle has dropped spindles on the front and stock height at the rear. Also what tyres are best. Thinking 195 on rear and 145 on front but not sure which aspect ratio as surely it is the overall diameter of the tyre which will affect the speedo accuracy etc. Anyone know the overall diameter of the rolling surface of the tyres on stock beetle wheels and tyres?

Thanks

Jon

Absolutely will NOT fit.
If you had stock spindles, they will fit.
