Vanagon tires were "stock" in several different sizes, 185/14 was the typical size used on steel wheels for passenger vans and westies. 205/70R14 was the typical sized used on alloy wheels. However Dokas and Sinkas may have come with 205/14 tires on steel wheels, and then there were the 16" syncros which obviously did not use any size of 14" tire.
