Subject:      Bay window bus rims on Vanagon
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="ISO-8859-1"

Recently read an article stating Vanagon rims are a direct fit on the Œ71 -
Œ79 bay window bus.

Is the reverse true ­ does the Bay Window bolt pattern has sufficient
clearance to work on the Vanagon. Saw listing for new rims with these specs:

Wheel Specs
Diameter - 15"
Width - 5.5"
Offset (ET) - 20mm
Backspacing - 4"
Lug Pattern (PCD) - 5x112
Lug Seat - 60 Degree Conical
Weight ­ 15 lbs

I would like to run a 205/70/15. The van is never used off road. Thoughts??
