 Vanagon wheels. Does any one on the list know what the exact hub dia.

 wheels?

 I am wondering if it is possible with out to much trouble to adapt these
 wheels properly and safely  to work on a Vanagon?
 If so what has to be done to make them work safely?Does one need wheel
 spacers or other modifications?
 Thanks for the help.

AFAIK the '70's 14" MB alloys will bolt right up, no mods, no spacers. the
hub hole is larger than on the audi alloys, so you dont have to mess w/ that.
   too bad these werent made in 15"...
