<<  got some beautiful Audi 15" alloys for my '85GL.  The hub clearance needs
 to be opened up a bit as I have seen posted previously.  The thing that has
 me puzzled though is that the hubs will protrude through the wheel making it
 impossible to put the center cap back on.  Basically, I would have gorgeous
 wheels with an ugly, rusty hub sticking through.  Is this a snag in using
 the Audi wheels or am I forgetting something like a thick spacer etc.  Would
 such a spacer, if needed, cause me bearing troubles by pushing outward the
 wheel mounting point?

you cant use the stock audi center cap when using the 15" turbo wheels on a
vanagon.   paint your front grease caps silver, and run vanagon carat center
caps on the rear wheels.
looks great.
