New wheels

[ischias]

I want to fit Replica Fuchs 7"-17" with bolt pattern 5/112, on my vw 412 wagon.
Any good advise how to do?

Take a look in the 411 and 412 forum in the Shoptalk forums. Look for posts from Wally from the Netherlands from about 6-8 years ago. He had a two door 412.....cheddar yellow....with gold snowflake rims from a Porsche 928. I beleive they were 7" x 16".
He had lots of details about how he did everything before he sold the car. Very nice car! Ray

Believe that Finnish guy racing the gold 412 coupe was running 5x112 low offset wheels. Can't remember the exact setup, a lot of custom fabricated stuff-was he running redrilled/turned down stock discs as front hubs? Can't quite remember. Definitely custom disc setup at the rear. Wally I think was using adapters up front and maybe redrilled hubs and spacers at the rear- custom rear disc setup I think as well. Anyway, he was running staggered Porsche classics in17 inch with high offsets, making adapters a possibility.
