Yes, I do. As a former Mazda owner, I can tell you that this is incorrect. The 1977-85 RX7 used a 4x110 mm circle, while the 86-up had a 5x4,5" circle. Now, if you do your math, you'll see that 4,5" is 114,6 mm when converted to metrics, so they won't fit. These are the ONLY cars that have the same circle as the Vanagon: All 5-bolted Audis, 1982-up (possibly earlier, not sure) European Ford Granada and Scorpio (the latter found in the US as the Merkur Scorpio) 1971-1995 All Mercedes 1968 up, except Gel�ndewagen off road vehicle VW Passat 1997 (Euro) 1998 (US) -up VW Transporter, Microbus, Vanagon, Eurovan etc. 1971-up Oh, the Mazda was a '74 818 Wagon, same car as the RX3, only with a 1,3 four-banger.
