That is the classic air-cooled stance and it keeps steering light. Because the sizes differ, you cannot rotate front to back. The other thing that matters is the lug seat: these alloys take a 60° conical (tapered) seat. Stock VW steel wheels use ball-seat bolts, and putting those on a cone-seat wheel is the most common wheel mistake we see — the bolt can loosen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003eInstall Notes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCheck the bolt pattern on your hub before ordering — 4x130 only.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNarrow wheels on the front axle, wide wheels on the rear.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse 16 M14x1.5 lug bolts with a 60° conical (tapered) seat (4 per wheel).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTorque to the value in your factory manual or the hardware maker's spec, in a star pattern, and re-check after the first 50 miles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTest-fit one wheel for brake and fender clearance before mounting all four.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWill this wheel and tire set fit my VW Beetle?\u003c\/b\u003e Yes, if it is a 1968–1979 Beetle, a 1971–1979 Super Beetle, a 1967–1974 Karmann Ghia or a 1966–1973 Type 3 — all 4x130.
