well, if the're "so dangerous"  then what will happen?  you have to use the
longer studs for the rear, and just use audi lug bolts for the front, and a
miniscule spacer up front on some wheels.  what can happen?  there is no way
for the wheels to fall off.. the van handles the same.  have you ever run audi
or mercedes wheels on your Vanagon???  I have.  i have done this conversion
twice, and am about to do it again, to put some 15" audi turbo wheels on my
'84.

dont complain about something if you havent tried it yourself to see how it
really works..

let me reiterate, people...  there is NOTHING unsafe about running audi turbo
or mercedes wheels on your vanagon if you use the proper lug nuts.   these are
the same wheels used on the turbo quattro... they've been run thru all kind of
off-road road rallies... they are VERY strong wheels..
