You might try looking at this paper:
UFF, a full periodic table force field for molecular mechanics and molecular dynamics simulations
AK Rappe, CJ Casewit, KS Colwell, WA Goddard III, … - J. Am. Chem. Soc, 1992
They attempted to parameterize vdW radii and LJ parameters
for molecular mechanics. In order to make it consistent with
other AMBER vdW radii parameters, you may need to multiply
by a scaling factor (I think it is 0.5) -- look at some AMBER
papers (e.g. Pearlman et al 1995) to double check the scaling
factor.
