How much should they cost for four used ones? >> Chris, You should be able to make the wheels fit but you will need lower profile tires to clear the fenders and the rear swingarm. Remember that the 16" Syncros have a slightly longer wheelbase specifically to allow for a larger wheel and tire combination in the rear. BTW, I've already trial fit the hweels from my 16" DoKa on my 87 2wd. BenT <A HREF="http://hometown.aol.com/bentbtstr8/myhomepage/index.html">Vanagon Cafe</A> all rights reserved |
