Michael, Neat diagram, FYI the stock 16" Vanagon wheel is ET 35mm and 5.5" wide... not that we approaching Audi or MB wheel offset (ugh!) but it is an interesting point to bring up.

Since there have been so many questions regarding tire size, wheel diameter, and offset (especially for Syncros), I thought I'd draw a little diagram which compares some of the various options. It is available for viewing at:

Note: if you print it out at 72dpi on 11x17" paper, you should be able to view it at a scale of 1 to 1.
Enjoy.
