Hey kids, Here is Mike Sullivan's wheel offset diagram which helped me out a lot... http://www.haywood-sullivan.com/vanagon/Vanagon_tire_section.gif Also, I have 7.5 x 16" on my 91 but can't recall the offset but I believe it is ET20 (moves tire to the outside). There is absolutely no problem with clearance but I also have BFG Comp T/A 225/55/16. I still have full turning radius. You can see pic below. I have more close up shots showing tire position vs body panel but no time to put up on site. I gotta get around to it... -- Lee Roesner Paradigm Graphic Design & Web Development 710-B Landwehr Road Northbrook, IL 60062 Phone 847-509-8704 Fax 847-480-5701 Portfolio: http://www.roesner.net/vw |
