How about adding spacers to steel wheels if you decide to add bigger
brakes?  Has anyone done that?  Steel wheels don't break, alloys do.  I go
to remote areas in my Vanagon.   Iearned the hard way with alloys in Baja...
   These Vanagons are .made for adventure...

Most of the 15" steels will not work with some big brake systems. I went
with 15" alloy from Passats on the boneyard for $27 each. Depending on
offset you will need spacers and longer lug bolts. T3 technique has some
good info on SAMBA on this.

 The thing is $600 for a set of alloys is not in the budget.  Any
suggestions for a less expensive alternative, I don’t care if they are
steel wheels.
