Nothing wrong with it, but make sure you budget for correctly-rated 15 or 16" tires, as they tend to be much pricier than 14" ones. You still need extra-load or LT rated tires even in those sizes, as per the DOT and VW themselves (plenty on this in the archives). Do NOT use passenger car tires or buy wheel/tire packages that include passenger car tires. See http://busdepot.com/details/tires.jsp for tire safety info and how to identify a correctly rated tire.
