Makes me think that spacers and center bored have to be dealt with. But what about the bolts?

Here's a set of EV 16" steelies on CL locally and he gave the measurements that make me think these are not optimal for a Vanagon.

"Up for sale is this set of four factory VW Eurovan steel wheels. Overall in great shape, no bends or cracks. They are 16x6 et 53, 5x112 bolt pattern.

is about 50 versus the Vanagon ET of 30 or so, suggesting the need for
20mm spacers to position the wheel properly.
