Vanagon / Eurovan wheel swap

[garbird]

Will wheels from a Eurovan fit on a Vanagon without wheel adapters?

Not really. Check the "What Wheels Fit?" thread (sticky) at the top of the forum main page for all the information. But, the short answer is:

1) the EV wheels centre bore is generally too small and needs to be enlarged.

2) you may have to change the lug nuts/bolts depending on what van you are converting and what wheels were on there before.

3) the EV wheel offset is generally too large compared to vanagon, and benefits from the use of adaptors; not essential but helps to maintain the correct offset.

No. I have 16" Eurovan wheels on my Tristar. I bought a set of spacers from Loogy.

I just bored out the centres to 68mm and had to grind about a 16th inch off my steering knuckles in one spot...

Seems to be working so far

I needed spacers on the front but the rear works fine once you remove the little set bolt that secures the drum (it prevents the wheel from sitting flush)
