hey dosteven,

You can firm your Mazda MPV bolt pattern at:

<A HREF="http://www.discountedwheelwarehouse.com/Mazda___Vehicle_Bolt_Pattern_Reference.cfm">
http://www.discountedwheelwarehouse.com/Mazda___Vehicle_Bolt_Pattern_Reference.cfm</A>

As you can see in the chart, the MPV wheels are NOT the correct bolt pattern.
So unless you are as accurate s a CNC mill and/or are incredibly lucky in
changing the bolt pattern to the Vanagon's 5 X 112mm, you may have a "wobbling"
experience.
