I appreciate the feedback on what I need to do to make it work, milling the middle out is not a problem for I am a tool&die maker (machinist) I think they will look pretty cool on the green westy

Thanks  Drew

Drew, I eventually sold my set of Passat wheels and bought some used vanagon wheels.
 
Like Dan said, there were too many things that had to be done to make them work.
 
The guy that bought the wheels is installing them on a vanagon.  He had to machine the centers larger even for a vanagon.

The offset is wrong, you need longer wheel nut studs, and the center hole has to be enlarged to clear the hubs.
Ronnie had a set for his 71 that he never installed, maybe he will have something to add.

Has anyone done or heard of anyone putting Passat wheels on a bay? I found a set that are pretty affordable and was wanting to pick them up, they are the same bolt pattern 5x112mm was wondering about clearance issues / fit. Any help would be appreciated!!! 
Thanks for your time
