The only shows where original tires would be of any "value" would be for a
concours event to which there are none for VW's that I'm aware of (at least
in the USA). Not to mention that they would be a danger if actually put to
use!
Offset only affects the rims, not the tire. So the tire can be used on ANY
vehicle that can use that tire size. You are correct, the rim offset of a
T3 is different than a T1. More info here:

I was told that wheels for Beetle do have an offset different from ones that
are right for Type 3...
I will be posting on Samba ( separately in Beetle and Type 3 sections) 4
absolutely new 6.00 - 15 Continental tires. These came into my possession
couple years ago from Germany after an extensive search. My car is
absolutely original and tires were intended for the shows only. Show car
with original tires gets many points on shows, I was told.
