That's not the offset, that's the width, plus later beetles also got 4.5" wide 
rims.

Our offset for type 3s is 46mm [that's 1-13/16"].

Beetle offsets varied all over the map, but were always smaller except for one 
year Karmann Ghia which were also 46mm.

However, it is likely true that the wheels he has were made for beetles. Few 
nice wheels were made correctly to fit our cars.
