This very nice quality, heavy-duty steel wheel is made specifically for the Bus & Vanagon platform. It has the correct bolt pattern and offset to mount on your rig without any modifications. No special hardware, wheel spacers, or adaptors are required. Available in black or silver. Does not include mounting hardware or tires.

Mounting hardware sold separately: This wheel requires five Conical Seat Wheel Nuts. If you have a 2WD Vanagon that uses wheel bolts on the front, you will need to purchase our 59mm Threaded Wheel Stud Conversion Kit - sold separately.
Now compatible with our Hubcap Mounting Kit!
Brakes: Please note that if you have our first generation of bigger brakes these steel wheels will not fit on your vehicle. The first generation can be distinguished by a lack of logo, every generation after that has a logo and fits great with these 15” steel wheels.
Tires: These 15X7 wheels are 1.5” wider than the original steel wheels on your van. Here are some things to consider regarding tire choices:
1971-79 Bus: 215/65R15 tires will barely fit on the rear of later 1973-79 models that have slightly more flared fender arches than the 1971-72 models and sometimes need the fender flares to be “rolled” for sufficient clearance. If you have a 1971-72 model, or a 1973-79 model and want to play it safe: we recommend a slightly narrower 205/70R15—it is about the same diameter but about ½" narrower:
Vanagon-Street/not lifted 2WD and 4WD: We recommend tire size 215/65R15.
Vanagon 2WD off-road/lifted and 4WD: We recommend a tire size no larger than 215/75R15.
Syncro off-road: As with many wheel options, fitting a tire larger than 215/75R15 is possible but may require lifting springs, lengthened trailing arms, wheel spacers, and/or body modifications.
Please Note: If you have drum brakes in the rear of your van you must remove the set bolts before installing these wheels as the bolt head will interfere with the wheel center.
