Subject:      Re: Mitsubishi 3000GT  16" alloy wheels on a Vanagon!!!
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1


Very close, but not the same.
I just tried a wheel from my Mitsubishi Diamante
(I think the wheels might be similar to the 3000GT)
on my westy. At first, it looked like they fit, but the
bolt pattern is off by a few milimeters.
Would have to force the bolts in or widen the holes.
Also the offset is wrong.
The Mitsubishi rim would come uncomfortably close
to the upper control arm. Probably would scrape against it.
Also the bolts looked different.
