There's a set of these for sale in LA for abiout the cost of getting
your done. Keep inmind that your van uses ET30-32. Whereas, the Audi
wheels you are talking about are about ET45. You really should install
spacers. That also means you need longer studs in the rear and longer
bolts up front. The center bores will not clear the front dust caps
w/o some machining. You can make the holes bigger with a Dremel tool
if aesthetics are not majorly critical. The hubcaps will not fit as
they did on the Audi. Thicker spacers can change that.
