Same as Vanagon. Go to my alternative wheels page for some ideas.

Look for wheels with a 5 X 112 mm bolt pattern it must be able to accept 14
mm bolts/studs. Acceptable offset will depend on what width you are
considering.

Porsche wheels will not fit either loaf (like your '71) or Vanagon based
vehicles. They will require adapters or other modifications like redrilling
as discussed in the how-to section of my webpage or redrilling your rear drum
and front rotors to the correct pattern.
