Is it just one your looking for? I might have a 6th wheel for 5 X 130. Although its not a Porsche, a VW.

VW (Beetles) have a 4 x 130mm PCD, Porsche is 5 x 130mm as you mentioned.

I've a single 16" Fuch that might be of use? I also have a single 15" replica Fuch but Liam has first shout on that one.

My ghia is porsche fitment 5 x 130, i'm looking for a set of wheels to stick on it while i'm restoring it, what other easily available wheels (that i'm likely to find in the local scrap yard) are 5 x 130?

Merc Sprinter vans.... that's about it...

 

[Rocky]

Cheers, i'll keep a look out for some!

just for garage wheels yeah? I'd say they'd be way too heavy to use as road wheels.

oh, petrol engined VW tuaregs share the stud pattern of the Porsche Cayenne, which is the normal 5x130 pattern. I'd say you'd have trouble getting them on though.

It might be less hassle in the end to take off the calipers, wind back the rear shoes and swap in some beetle 4 stud drums and use some boggo beetle steel wheels for rolling around the garage. If you don't have spare hubs/wheels I can help you out there. If you want a loan that's fine...

Ya, just for the garage .....

Cheers for the offer Trev!

I've put a pair of ghia steels on the rear as they are the original vw hubs drilled for porsche fitment, if i don't pick up something handy (i.e. free) i'll probably just drill out a set of beetle wheels to fit while i'm getting the fuchs detailed/refurb'd.

undoing the centre hub nut and sliding off the disk to slide on a 4 stud beetle drum woudl take 10 minutes each side and you wouldn't ruin a pair of wheels. It seems the quickest, simplest solution for garage wheels to me... As I said, I have drums and wheels here you can take a lend of for free if you like

Are they not the same in the front, i.e. VW pattern re-drilled to 5 x 130mm?

No!, previous owner kindly fitted these!

 

[kvinyl]

oh yeah, forgot
...jeez, what muppet paints their calipers red...

I'd be pretty sure they are 4 x 130 discs underneath the spacer. If you took the spacer off and removed the studs you'd have the beetle pattern...I think...

 

[Rocky]

Had the wheels off yesterday, you right 4 x 130 behind the spacer ..... happy days!
