Thanks for the suggestions. I have a question below. > > Easy solution: Carry the old steel wheel mounted tire as a spare, along > with a set of nuts and bolts for it and get your money back for the > fifth wheel. > I own all the wheels involved, so there's no money involved. I also currently own both vanagons. I'd like to keep the steel wheels and alloy wheels together as sets. > > Most elegant: Buy and install the wire rods from a later model. > I can switch the wire rods from the '87 to the '85 (and vice versa). What is involved in this procedure? I'm still wondering if there's a difference between an '87 that came with steel wheels versus one that came with alloys in terms of the spare tire space. Do any of you know? Thanks, David |
