You're going to need about a 1" spacer just to get them to fit, not to mention having the centres bored out to fit, drilling out the bolt holes to fit, new lugs and studs front and rear and they aren't strong enough to start with. Its way cheaper to go to Van Cafe and buy something in steel or alloy that just fits... eg http://www.van-cafe.com/home/van/smartlist_793/rims_and_wheels.html?stpl=view_all On Tue, Feb 8, 2011 at 8:53 AM, pickle vanagon <greenvanagon@gmail.com>wrote: > I don't know *anything* about alloys and nonstandard rims for vanagons, but > this seems like too much of an amazing deal not to post: > http://www.ecstuning.com/Search/ES2153836/ES2153836/ > > I'm not in the market for 16" alloys but maybe someone else is.
