You can see me an Chris fitting a 205 x 5 PCD (standard beetle) to a 130 x 5 Porsche adapter on my fastback to fit porsche wheels.
Look up PCD on google the last number indicates the amount of wheelnuts/studs

ok so today was interresting went out to kliprevier to go look at a donor bug that the the owner doesnt want any more luckily for me it has all the parts i need to build my beetle but the down side of it all is that the engine is a 1300 so is not what im looking for but will get my beetle on the road

A 1300 is better then nothing for now.You can use that untill you can afford to get a decent 1600 engine.

Have yo spoken to Forcecooled yet?
