Those would need spacers about 9/16" to 3/4" thick to put them at the
optimal range for Vanagons. I would pass but some people do it with
spacers, longer studs and matching nuts. The added hardware costs can be
substantial to get any "cheap" wheels to fit.
ET 37 Mercedes wheels are fairly common around me so I wouldn't bother
with ones with a larger ET number than that.
