Subject: [T3] 5 lug wheels question > I have a 65 notchback with a vw four lug bolt pattern. Does anyone know if > the 65 type 3's originally came in four or five lug?

Disc brakes appeared at the same time. The problem here is, the Type 3 did not appear offically in the USA until 1966. The Notchback was never imported into the USA. I suppose that there may have been other markets where the 4 bolt wheel was used. Maybe someone else has a better handle on when they appeared in other markets.
