The wheels you are looking at will fit after a few modifications. Fist
the CLK's used 12mm bolts. Your Vanagon uses 14mm studs/bolts. That
means you will need to enlarge the lugholes and recontour the
lugseats. Secondly, you need longer studs in back and longer bolts up
front (unless you have a big brakes kit). The CLK wheels you are
looking at appear to be the cast variety. The cast wheels have a
thicker mounting pad. You will need to compensate for that.
Hey Ben,
What kind of machining would have to be done to the seats?
What kind of cutters would I need to locate?
I could arrange the mill work.
