<<SNIP>> To add to the "utility" look, I'd also like to install a set of 27x8.5/14 Kumhos on the stock rims. I know these fit the Syncro; will I have clearance issues on the 2WD model? (It sits up pretty high). <<SNIP>>

JJ, welcome to the list!

I currently use 27x8.5 R14 Firestone Firehawks on my '85 and have no clearance problems. My '85 sits almost as high as a Vanagon Syncro but I've seen that size tire on the low '89 Westy.

As for the rest of the items I am sure others will pitch in with info.

Chris, '85 Westy.
