4 lug wheels did not appear on VW's in the USA until 1966. 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.
