Sorry Ken, but 7" and 7.5" ET0 is not a good fit and ET15 is not so
great either. The suggestion that they fit fine with 205 tires is a joke
IMHO as the rim itself is wider than the tire tread with that setup. Rim
damage is virtually assured. Rims of this width are better suited to 225
- 255 width tires but of course these WILL hit the sliding door.

Using 55 series tires is another joke on a Vanagon as these heavy
vehicles need more space for tire deflection on speed bumps or pot
holes. More rim damage.
