Ok, so I'm about to spring for some 15" Eurovan wheels in about an hour, and
they are supposed to include spacers. Not sure about longer bolts - I assume
I will need some? Do I need to space both the front and rear? It sounds like
only the front is an issue for clearance at the ball joint.

I'm already running 27/8.5R14 on the rear, which are ~778 revs/mile, and
plan to get 215/75R15, which are 748 revs/mile, so I think the 4% gearing
change will be ok, as I have a 5 speed. I will need to figure out a spare
tire carrier mod, but for now, will probably just stuff a 14" spare in
there.

Looking forward to new shoes! :-)
