Huh? I did this exact upgrade to my '87 syncro.
It should be plugnplay. Are the alloys the stock
ones that came on later model vans? You need to
replace the steel lug nuts with an 'acorn' style.

Subject: Wheel Stud length




Hello Listees,


I'm upgrading the stock steel wheels on my "87 vanagon  syncro to
vanagon alloys. My problem is the studs pressed into my wheel hubs are
not long enough. I tried a search in the archives, but came up empty. Is
replacing my studs with longer ones the best option? If so what length
should they be replaced with?  Any help would be appreciated.
