I think they do fit, But I am not 100%
The Vanagon bolt pattern is 5 x 112. The stock wheel offset is ET-35. Wheels marked 'ET-45' will therefore sit 10mm closer inwards. This has the advantage of keeping fat tires more under the fenders. If the bolt pattern is the same, the center mub might not be.
Requires substantial enlarging of the center hole to clear front grease caps. Front spacer needed for tire clearance at upper ball joint. Suggest using front studs so all nuts will match and to make room for spacers.
