Wheel or tire?  I think you mean tire, or perhaps tire/wheel combo.

I have a customer with a 2WD Westfalia who purchased our 16x6.0" ET 30mm
wheels and installed 215/75R16 tires and the fit was very good - this tires
are just shy of 28" tall and it filled the fenders nice with no rubbing.
Purpose for the larger tires was to get their RPMs down lower due to a TDI
conversion in an Automatic.  These are pretty narrow too - just slightly
wider [1cm] than the 205/70R14 that we are recommended by VW.  The did look
a lot narrower than the 225/75R16s on my TriStar!

Subject: Largest diameter wheel.

I am just looking for the largest diameter wheel that can fit in the wheel
well of a 2WD vanagon.  And be used of course.  Not into adaptors or
anything else just the diameter or tire sizes and I will compute the
diameter.

Height not treadwidth.
Thanks

Planned insanity is best.
Remember that sanity is optional.
