I am currently running a set of 16" Eurovan Steelies on my Synchro.
Even though they are different rims (or are they the same, folks?), the
below applies in general to the EV 16"ers. Actually I'm not sure about the
front spacer used on Syncros, didn't try it.

From - http://www.vanagon.com/info/tires/index.html -

"Syncro - Can fit Syncro without machining if 5/16" spacer used up front. No
front spacer needed with slight enlarging of center hole where it contacts
the hub.

2WD - requires substantial enlarging of the center hole to clear front
grease caps. Front spacer needed for tire clearance at upper ball joint.
Suggest using front studs so all nuts will match and to make room for
spacers."

I had to use longer studs in the rear, about 10mm longer if I remember
correctly.

So far so good!

Quick Question for the list...

I have a set of 16" Eurovan Steel Rims and I was wondering if they would fit
on a Vanagon. I think the bolt pattern is the same but I am not sure about
the offset.

Anyone know or have tried it?

Wishing you many miles of smiles!
