Wheel bolt pattern for 1976 Porsche 911S and does it share the same with any others?

What is the wheel bolt pattern for a 1976 Porsche 911S? Does it share the same bolt pattern as the 1978-1990 Porsche 911SC and 930 cars?

What other years of newer Porsche wheels will fit?

5x 130mm bolt pattern.

Porsche uses this on current cars although they now use studs instead of lug nuts. I believe the change started with the Boxster and 996 variants.

The issue you will run into is if you try to use wheels from late 1989 and up. They use coilovers springs so the wheels offset is very positive. You would need to install spacers to make up the difference which can add weight and cost to a set of wheels. The other factor will be that the rear flares on the 76 are not as wide as the SC and up so your choice of wheels will be limited to what will actually fit without rubbing and/or body mods. There is a ton of info here about wheels/tires.

Do a search and sit back and take it all in before you make a decision.

5x130 - Bolt pattern - Wheel-Size.com

Or you can use adapters.....not the best idea. Hubs can be re-drilled, tapped and studs installed....not cheap. You also need to consider offset.
