The wheels SHOULD fit the Doka without mods or spacers, but they will need the center diameters opened up to 2 1/4 or 3/8", and 10mm spacers for the front of a 2WD. You will have clearance problems at the upper control arm, if you try to omit the spacer. The wheels will need longer bolts and studs in either use. mario m <vw_fool@HOTMAIL.COM> wrote: This weekend I picked up a set of ronal r-9's at the junkyard from a Mercedes. They are 15x7 with a 35ET, the lug holes are 14mm. and the bolt pattern is the same as a vanagon (I put a rim on a vanagon rear for verification). Will this rim fit either a 2wd Vanagon or syncro Doka without spacers. I have checked the archives and have found all kinds of conflicting answers on the subject of ET. Mario
