yes they do.
the alloys I had on my '73 kombi came off a merc.
just be careful of the centre bore size, but you should be fine.

the early bays had 5 wide (ley soaced bolts)
later they became studs
and thats where u may have a probl especially with wide ones 6" maybe ok but 6.5 may touch on steer arm if the OFFSET is not suited
then u may need special bolts (longer ones prob actually nits on ;ater ones but they do not all fit bays !!!!
best post up a pic and some measurements.
just pretty cars with pretty wheels wont prove a thing !!
check it out with care..i learnt the hard way too.

can rustle up most of it.

I think standard steel rims for a Kombi are 7", and I just measured the offset on one of mine and it seems to be about 13cm, and the center hole bore
is around 6ish so it should all be fine *I think*, so long as you have low enuff profile tyres. 
I'd get a second opinon tho anyway.
As for getting a Kombi, did you happen to notice the blue camper for sale for 6000 bucks on the dirt in South Nowra not long ago?.... it seemed pretty
schmick bodywise, but had a very oily engine bay and no engine seal. regardless tho, an engine can be fixed. 
not sure if its still for sale... bu worth checking. 
Cheers!
