1968 Volkswagen Beetle Base Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1968 Volkswagen Beetle bolts to a 4x114.3 pattern and runs 15x6 stock wheels with a 6 mm offset. You can fit anything from 15x5.5 up through 15x7, plus 16x7 wheels if you prefer a larger diameter. The square setup works perfectly for this classic—no staggered option needed here.
Because only 4x114.3 wheels will fit, verify your choice matches that bolt pattern before ordering. The hub center bore measures 67.1 mm, so use hub-centric rings if your wheel's bore runs larger. Going too wide or running a very aggressive offset can risk rubbing on the fenders or suspension components, so stick within the compatible sizes listed above.
Every wheel we stock for your Beetle is verified to bolt on correctly and ships free across the lower 48 states. Work Wheels, Enkei, SSR Wheels, and Rotiform all have fitments ready to ship.
