your 85 vanagon doesnt have studs up front. use the audi 5000 bolts up front w/ 8mm spacers, you can get the spacers at any wheels shop. use longer studs in the rear, i used some from a 911, but others will do.. then just use the stock van lug nuts. who told you that you need to drill out your front rotors to put in studs?? way wrong info.. chris
