Does anyone know off hand what the bolt pattern/measurement is for a 1965 356 SC?

Thanks!

same as the 911 5x130mm

you can use early Fuch's w/185mm tires (possbily 205)

TC, if you go to Fuchs, you'll want to install longer studs - from 40 to 45 mm, if I recall. tire clearance is a highly variable matter; often on the rear of a 356, one side is tighter than the other, also, rear camber setting is a factor, + of course the tire size & even manufacturers varying designs.

THANKS GUYS ! !

A Buddy has some pretty narrow Phonedials, but I didn't know if they'd fit or even if they'd look "right" on the car.

I noticed the difference in spacing, side-to-side, on the rear of my '55 and couldn't figure it out. I ended up deciding it was a body flaw, maybe a very early accident that was repaired well. Thanks for mentioning it KED, I feel MUCH better knowing that's it's a 356 thing and not unigue to my car.

the later wheels will not fit correctly - just the earlier Fuch's
Pre-73'

What would be the problem(s) in fitting the later wheels to the SC hubs? any idea?

Thanks!

the offset was changed in late 72 on the Fuch's and typically will not clear the fenders with a 185mm tire (and some 165mm's)
the early pre-72' Fuch was a great wheel combo w/ a 185-70 or 185-65 tire Plus it is about 1/2 the weight of the steel wheels and is lighter than the later cast wheels as well.
