You can stay with the 4lug or have them redrilled to 5-130mm and use Porsche wheels. You can buy blank drums and have them drilled to any pattern you want. SoCal Imports sell them and others. Look in Dune Buggies & Hot VWs at the advertisements.

I wear size 12 shoes for my wide feet and do not have a problem. This is in sunny California, I don't know what it would be like wearing large boots. You can always bend the clutch pedal over some if you need clearance.
