Yes, absolutely. BUT if your vanagon has the alloy wheels,
you have to get the lug nuts with the ball shaped seating surfaces.
The lug nuts from the alloys have cone shaped seating surfaces.
That small detail is very important, since you don't want your wheels
to go off on their own.

A question for the wheel wise:  I have an '85 Westfalia.  Can I use the
wheels from a bus on my vanagon?  Anyone know if they're a match or at
least compatible?  I'm wanting to use them for snow tires (i.e., I don't
want to keep having to switch tires, which apparently messes up the bead).
Thanks,
Joe
