You need to know what off set the wheels have to know if they will work.

I don't mean if they will fit the arches but if the inner part of the rim will fit over the outher part of a type three brakedrum or brakecaliper.
Of course when your ofset is equal to the rimwith it will always fit. I'm looking at rims that have a little less ofset

I bought 13 inch wheels anyway.
They are ats wheels made for general motors (opel) in aluminum and they fit the rear drums and the front calipers of a type 3.
They do have a 4 x 100 bolt pattern but we will try to redrill the rims instead of the drums/discs.
