Howdy List;
I just won the following on E-bay to try as an experiment:

8
I figure $50 is okay even if they don't work -- but, does anybody think the
offset will work with the Vanagon, or am I going to need other hardware to
make these work? They are supposedly 112mm 5 bolt pattern. Any guesses as to
if they will interfere with the rear sliding door? They are 8 inch wide, but
if they go into the wheel well deep enough, maybe they will work.
Anybody ever used these? Do they support the weight of a Vanagon? I assume
they do, since I've seen similar wheels on large pickup trucks (carrying
large loads!).
And if they don't work, there's the ones Ben is selling... But I have to get
those drilled...
Any info greatly appreciated!
Brian C.
