The Vanagon rims fit on my 71 bay window but the studs are a little short. The lug nut only goes on about half way.

Go to Napa or any good tire and wheel shop and explain exactly what kind of studs you need(dia, length of thread,length of spline). They should be able to help you. The Vanagons run the same dia lugs as the bus. If you can't find what you're looking for, you can step down to a 12mm stud. But be careful that the studs press into the hubs TIGHT.
