The load range is close, but Vanagons should have at least a 96. They're also smaller in circumference than stock (by about -2.5%, speed will read too high, RPM at speed will be reduced). A 205/75R14 would be much closer (about +0.6% difference). A 205/80 would be about 7% larger than stock. Stock is a 185R14 (depending on year, etc), which would be a 185/82R14 in modern terms.
