Chris,

They are ET62. You need thick bolt-on spacers/adapter. That makes them
bolt right on and corrects offset. Weight rated for Vanagons and looks
perfect IMHO. Looks great with 265/55/16 tires or slightly narrower
for 2wd.

Downside is they are cast and heavy. The 17's from the ML350 fit the
same way too. Proper spacers can be offset by cheap price of the
wheels. Commonly $200 for a set of four. I've picked them up for $50
for four because I'm typical pimp-my-ride fashion, M-class owners like
even bigger wheels on their ride.
