Tony,

Just because they are on a 914 does not mean they are Porsche pattern. 914
owners are notorious for using non-factory alloys. You need to determine the
origin of the wheels first or find-out the bolt pattern.

Keep in mind that Vanagons are 5 x112 mm versus the 5 x 130 mm on Porsches.
So even if those wheels are Porsche pattern, they WILL NOT fit w/o redrilling
your hubs or using an adapter. Use of an adapter will screw around with your
offset so you will need to compensate for the adapter thickness. Go to this
link to see my 87 GL with Porsche Fuchs alloys (7" in front 8" in the rear).

Pmail me if you need more specific info. The offset you mentioned should work
on a Vanagon just fine.
