AFAIK Audi still uses 5x 112mm bolt patterns.  I have no idea what the
offsets of these wheels are.  More than likely the are ET40+mm which would
be too much for the Vanagon.

Thinking about all this, perhaps they are NOT 5x 112mm - I was eyeing up
the 5 spoke 16" New Beetle wheels and they are 5x 100mm bolt pattern.   The
NB is supposed to be based on the Audi A3 platform as well the Golf 4 and
Jetta 4.  The VW dealership here lost their Audi dealership as they sold
less than 10 Audis a year so I have no friendly techs who whould be able to
answer this.
