The bolt pattern will be correct, but you will need to run spacers and get the center bores opened up. Some aftermarket wheels do have center bores bigger than the 57mm used by VW/Audi on their cars, but none that I know of will be big enough to get over the front grease caps on a Vanagon.

Yea, i will prob need to get tires/new lugs and bolts any ways, if i have to get the centerbore incareased i have a friend with a machine shop, hopefuly he can look after that, how big do you think the spacers will need to be, and are they hard to get?

oh yea i have to get the tires as big as posible need something to lower the revs on the new motor,,, looking around min 26" to 27"max,,

i guess they will have to have good side wall rating

Thanks !!!

The fact that they are aftermarket wheels means there a really good chance that you won't need to have the centers bored. 18" wheel can fit onto a Vanagon, but without knowing the width, offset and having a photo of the wheels (which will help identify any possible center cap fitment issues), there really isn't much information that we can provide to you.
