  Hey "Tayb"
 Yep, like JordanVW says. Similar to Outie wheels. Most Passat wheels have
an offset of ET44-45. Vanagons typically use ET30-32. You may or may not
need spacers, depending on the width of the wheel. Secondly, the centerbore
is too small for Vanagons. You need to bore them out to at least 66mm.
Lastly, the center caps may not fit depending on what you do in the above
procedures.
