Can anyone tell me what (if any) custom wheels will fit my '77 Westy? Do the Porsche Fuch wheels have the same bolt pattern?[/b]

I would do a search on here as this topic comes up quite often. The aftermarket BRM's will fit your bus and are one of the few aftermarket wheels that will bolt right up. Also some of the Mercedes/Audi wheels will fit with a little modification. The Porsche Fuchs will not bolt right up. It can be done, but requires quite a bit of work. Anything is possible with enough time and money though

Here is a link (if I can do it) to my GoWesty Alloys.

At some point, I'm going to upgrade my front brakes to vented rotors and 2-piston calipers which pretty much means I'll have to abandon the stock hub.

What options are available for adapting the rear drum to a different offset?

I would strongly suggest that you do not use Audi wheels. What a Pain! :x
