Default Rims and Calipers


I was told of a VW Brasilia on a junkyard. I’m going to pass there today to see it.
My idea is to get the Rims because they are 5.5 and I can replace my 16 years old
165 by new 185 /65. I would prefer to put new Empi 8 Spoke rims but they are too
expensive.
Since the car has the rims maybe it has also the Calipers and the rotors.
My questions a
1 Are the Calipers and rotors for the Super and Std beetle the same?
2 Can I keep the bearings of my Super or do I have to buy new ones?

It was an old type 3, completely rusted out. The rims were also 4.5" :-/
