vans that came with alloys had a slightly bigger clamshell. In a message dated 4/20/2015 2:49:57 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, stuartmacm@gmail.com writes: I replaced my ‘87’s steel wheels with alloys, and 205 doesn’t fit. Only at about 20 PSI will it fit. The later 205 clamshell has an extended attaching lip about an inch longer than mine, so are you saying that if the van came from the factory with alloys and 185 tires it has the modified clamshell? Or did all Vanagons that came with alloy wheels have 205s and the bigger clamshell? Inquiring minds want to know! Stuart
