Subject:Re: Need AFM adapter so different aircleaner or cold air intake can be used

Thanks for the clarification.� I know the bolt pattern is the same and have seen photos of Vanagons with these wheels that I recognize as being from the Scorpio, but it was too good to be true that they would just bolt up since so few wheels do so properly.

No small task considering the lack of popularity of said car and the fact that it was only sold in the U.S. for five years in the late '80s.� Rarer than a Vanagon, though if you can find its equally rare big brother the Scorpio those alloy wheels will fit the Vanagon.

Stephen,

Just wanted to add to your posting. The Scorpio alloys I have seen are hubcentric meaning they go on the same
as Audi wheels. The centerbore has to be enlarged or spacer used.
