Hi, Erin,
I think it helps. I’m assuming (yeah, yeah) that the three 4J x 15 wheels were probably original, and the two others (both 4½J) are strays. There are fabrication dates stamped on those three: 7/71, which is entirely consistent with this information. I’ve got a Samba shortcut icon on my desktop. I poked around on TheSamba and couldn’t find the information you did. Thanks for the successful effort!

Up to March '72, the stock wheels were 4", 40mm offset. In March '72 the stock wheel went to 4.5", 34mm offset. '74 Supers had the 4.5", 41mm offset wheel. I hope that helps.
