15" 15" 15" 15" Alloys Alloys Look for mid to late 80s LARGE Mercedes car. 420, 500, 560 can have offset that do not need spacers on 2wd Vanagon. Look for an ET25 or close to that. (not from models 190E or 300E !!!) Genuine Mercedes wheels will have the ET number stamped on them. Many of the most common Mercedes 15" need spacers for 2wd but some of these fit Syncro without spacers. C220, C230 with ET37 need thin spacer for 2wd, none for Syncro. It is the tire that interferes on Vanagons when the ET number is too large. Wider tire = bigger issue. The lug holes most often need drilling to a larger diameter and longer lugs are needed for Mercedes 15" alloys even without spacers unless you drill the seats deeper. 2wd Vanagons like ET30 to ET25 when tires are 205 or wider 14" and 15" Stock Vanagon alloys are ET30 To change a Mercedes wheel with ET49 to ET30 you need a 19mm spacer To change a Mercedes wheel with ET37 to ET30 you need a 7mm spacer Mercedes ET25 +-5 needs no spacers 15" 15" Alloys Alloys
