Those wheels actually have a 66.5mm center bore, so no machining required. The center caps will not fit at all. You will need a set of the small ball seat lug bolts and nuts (which are completely different than the large ball seat lugs used for the Vanagon steel wheels). Other than that, they are a direct bolt on. 


Thanks,

Does anyone know/have experience with these rims for use on an 86 Westy?
(2.1L wbx, manual).  I am guessing the rim rating is 1430 lbs.  Is that too
light for our vans?


I will be glad to receive other relevant comments, too.


These rims:

Stampings on the rim:

TRAGLAST: 650KG seems to translate into a payload of 650kg, or 1430 lbs,
