Nothing wrong with it, but make sure you budget for correctly-rated 15 or
16" tires, as they tend to be much pricier than 14" ones. You still need
extra-load or LT rated tires even in those sizes, as per the DOT and VW
themselves (plenty on this in the archives). Do NOT use passenger car tires
or buy wheel/tire packages that include passenger car tires. See
http://busdepot.com/details/tires.jsp for tire safety info and how to
identify a correctly rated tire.
