Jim is correct, Stan. Posrche 5-lugs are 5 X130mm vs. 5 X 112mm for
Vanagons. You will also need very thick spaacers t fit this inside
your wheel wells. The better adapterspacers will run you about
$250-$350. By the time you are through, your bargain wheels are less
than perfect for your application and the cheap deal is -- well not so
cheap anymore.

I have these wheels one of my vans.
