I just upgraded my 300TD to 17" rims, so I have the stock ET 37 15" rims
available for my Vanagon (will they fit?).  Do you guys knock out the
Mercedes steel lug bolt inserts or ream them out to accept the larger
Vanagon bolts/studs?  Also, I was under the impression that MB rims needed
to be machined in order to clear the 2WD front hubs--is this correct?

TIA
