5 bolt Audi, Mercedes and '98 up Passat are 5x112 same as vanagon.   jetta
isnt.    audi wheels may require machining to center hub hole to clear vanagon
hub, as well as spacers depending on offset.   mercedes wheels usually have
correct centerbore, but often you need to machine the lug holes out a little
larger, and these may require spacers too, depending on offset. .
there are many factors.
