I was in a local yard today and spotted a set of nice 5000T wheels. I know these fit the vanagon, but is there any things I need to know before jumping on these? Spacers? Center hole size? Lug nuts/bolts? The price is right, I get all 4 wheels with good tires no center caps for $62+tax. These are the spider style not the more solid with kidney bean holes. Also, on the tires, I talked to a local tire store and told him of the wheels. He told me that the 185sr14C has a load rating of 1500lbs. He said any 15in tire with a 1500lb rating or higher would work just fine, what do you all think? Vehicle is an 85 Westy Multi-Van. I think the wheels would look great, they have a goldish color to them that would look good with my met. brown van. I need to buy new tires real soon and need to know what to do for wheels. ===== Scott Solomon AKA "VW addict" 85 Westy Multi-Van 83 Vanagon D parts heap 76 Triple White 'Vert 72 Super Beetle(FOR SALE) http://www.geocities.com/solomon_scott/ See my FOR SALE area __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
