Wheel???
I got some 4.5"Fuch's wheels on my 356 and I'd like to know if I can use tubeless tires on these rims?I've been told that I must use tubes.I have tubes and now I have a flat.It has new tires and tubes.The leak is at the valve stem just inside the hole.

None of the early Fuchs are rated for tubeless tyres. Many including me have run tubeless tyres on these wheels on the street and in competition without trouble for years. Just understand what you have going in.

With the right valve stem you can run without tubes. I have tires right now mounted on some 4.5" Fuchs and no tubes. The valve stems that work on all the early tube type Fuchs is a TR-415. They are hard to find, but they exist.

Why not upgrade the wheels to tubeless? They make beautifully accurate aftermarket wheels out of billet steel that are SAFE.
Or if the car is 5x130 use later Fuchs.
