Denis,
As long as the 15" tire you are running is either an LT rated tire or has a
reinforced side wall you should be OK.  Don't go crazy with 29" tall tires
or anything like that, but 27 should work just fine.  If you want to see
some BIG tires installed (on Syncros) see
http://www.syncro.ca/tech/tirefitment.htm at the bottom you will see a link
to the tire size / rpm calculator that I created.  This should help you with
how fast you will be going once you change tires.  The 2WD manual
transmission has the same gearing as the AAN Syncro transmission.

If you need some 15" rims, I will be getting some in stock in about three
weeks time.  Please pmail me if you are interested.

Subject: Is 2WD 15 inches Wheels Vanagon a Taboo

Hi Volks,

I know it is an occasional subjet in that group and I may have miss the
information buy is there any 2WD owner using 15 inches wheels or it is only
a Synchro subject ? The fact is that I am not sure that the clearance is the
same so I would like to ear it from a 2WD owner: does it worth it ? What
tire recommendation ?

Thanks

Denis
