Well, Sidney, that depends on whether you have a 2wd or a Syncro. 2wd vans
use bolts up front and nuts in the rear. Then it also depends on what VW
aluminum you are talking about.

Most VW alloy wheels use conical seat lugnuts/bolts. This allows them to
install wheels with thicker mounting pads like the alloys w/o having the
change the wheel studs.

Pmail me w/ more specific imformation to your application. I have access to
these various combinations.
