I have five 15 in Audi Ronal alloy wheels for sale right now, modified to
bolt on a syncro. Theyd need further center hub grinding to fit a 2 wheel
drive van. Offset is 45 mm.
I sanded the orig. light gold color, and primered them, then sprayed many
coats of silver wheel paint and clear. They look nice.
pmail me if interested. Also have a few factory 14 alloys..

Hello everyone,

Since I have more power with the Subie engine, I have been thinking
about installing bigger wheels on my van. I know that SA 16" are
available but I dont have much $$ to spend. I was wondering if anyone
knows if there are any steel rims that would fit the 2WD Vanagon. I
have phoned my local VW/Audi wrecker and they told me Audi 15" alloy
would work. I would need to replace the studs and maybe grind a
little of the centre of the rims to fit over the hubs.

Has anyone put bigger wheels on their 2WD Vanagons? If so, what size
wheel and tires did you use?

Thanks in advance.
