What type of Vanagon and what are you trying to accomplish? If trying to
stay with stock outer diameter you will find it even more difficult to find
tires with adequate load rating. 205/65-15 would be the correct diameter.
You will need a load range C or higher tire in this size. A 215/70-15 will
get the load rating but this is now a 27" tire which will effect
acceleration and braking.
