Yes, 5 x 112mm w/ 14mm bolts/studs. If it's currently on a bay window, it's a
good bet they have the correct offset for a Vanagon as well. Bay window steel
wheels are interchangeable w/ Vanagons as well.


<<Another thing I was wondering, would I get any handling benefit at all, to
 offset the disadvantage of placing four thief magnets on my van? >>


That's going to depend on what the wheel size, offset, and what kind of tires
you install.
