AFAIK, all somewhat later 4-lug stock beetle wheels are definately hub centric on the front.
Anytime I ever tried to use the lug holes for centering porsche wheels, balance was usually way off. Even on the rear, you could really feel it was off, even though the wheel themselves were balanced perfectly.
Don't think because the porsche wheel nut is conical that you can center a 20 lbs wheel with it...been there, done that. It never worked that way.
Trying to run lug centric is a gamble and your 95% of the times so far off that you feel it the first time you turn onto the freeway...
Always have your rotor mounts, spindles or however its called, be machined in such a way that you have a perfect concentric hub with 71.5mm iirc diameter edge, so that the rim is centered optimally.
I have tried it all and trust me, you don't want to run unbalanced wheels due to an out of center fitting for any period of time...
