> These are ET35 and I am selling them right now for $140 each.  Why buy something that may or may not work.  These are made by VW specifically for the Vanagon.

I have 14 x 6.5 BBS wheels on my Vanagon, and the offset is 22.  With a tire in the 215 width range, this width and offset works fine.  These wheels were made specifically for the Vanagon by BBS, right down to the little clearance divots for the rear brake drum bolts.  So an offset of 22 will work fine for a width of 6.5".  Pictures at http://photos.yahoo.com/ctbtyper in the Race Bus album if you want to see how the offset looks with 27x8.5-14 Dunlop Radial Rover RV tires.
