[QUOTE="naskeet, post: 633380, member: 15903"] If wheel spacers are needed to avoid interference with the inboard wheel-arch surfaces, then the wheel-offset is too large. There are a wide variety of 14, 15 & 16 inch [B]Mercedes-car[/B] steel & alloy wheels (112 mm PCD | 66•6 mm centre-bore) with wheel-offsets (e.g. 37 mm) suitable for a 1971~79 VW Type 2, without resorting to wheel spacers, which I would avoid using in any application. Some of the early-model-year wheels are designed for use with M12 x 1•5 mm bolts or screw-studs, so would need reaming out to 14•5 mm, to accommodate the VW Type 2's M14 x 1•5 mm screw-studs. [IMG]https://www.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/1544855.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://www.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/1544853.jpg[/IMG] I have some 2002~03 Mercedes C-Class, 7 x 16 inch wheels (37 mm wheel-offset) that I intend to use on my 1973 VW Type 2 motor-caravan, with either 205/65 R16C or 215/65 R16C tyres front & rear. [IMG]https://www.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/1544854.jpg[/IMG] So far as appearance is concerned, I preferred the following 8 x 16 inch Mercedes [C-Class or E-Class?] alloy wheels (35 mm wheel-offset), but an 8 inch wide wheel and the appropriate tyre sizes, would be much to wide.
