<< I would like to get the correct info for him on the exact specs of the RWD Vanagon wheels. Does any one on the list know what the exact hub dia. ,offset, wheel stud dia. and do the VW lug nuts seat properly in the M.B. wheels?

I am wondering if it is possible with out to much trouble to adapt these wheels properly and safely to work on a Vanagon? If so what has to be done to make them work safely?Does one need wheel spacers or other modifications? Thanks for the help. >>

AFAIK the '70's 14" MB alloys will bolt right up, no mods, no spacers. the hub hole is larger than on the audi alloys, so you dont have to mess w/ that. too bad these werent made in 15"... chris
