Yes, point taken - I was speaking in general terms but trying to describe
specifically about fitting wheels to a Vanagon. I still maintain, that for
Vanagon wheels, going from 5.5 to 8 inch wide wheels, the et should change
downward for correct centering and rim/wheel placement in the wheel well.
Would you say that an 8 inch wide wheel although it may fit and work, would
then be off the oem wheel bearing center (to the outside) by about 19 to 27mm?
