Pete, I need to pick your brains as you seem to be into bigger vans these days. I've got a T4 Transporter LWB which needs a set of tyres or wheels/tyres quite soon. I've got 16" steels on there atm, with 195-60R16 8-ply tyres and I'm after a set of similar tyres or a set of 16" alloys from a Sharan/Galaxy/Audi100/Vito/Passat etc which I can stcik van tyres onto. Any ideas as to a cheapish place to look? |
less little" little van :-)
As far as tyres go - never been sure on how many ply any tyres I've ever had
have been - for vans I just go for "C" rated commercial tyres.
As far as car alloys to stick van tyres on - I can't see any real issues as
long as the width/profile is the same or similar to car tyres that'd
normally go on those wheels.
Your Transporter - are the wheels 4 or 5-stud? If 5, I may have a few
wheels kicking about that might be of interest.

The wheels are 16" 5 stud, 112pcd, offset anywhere from 35-45mm. Apparently
Audi 100 '91-on, A4/A6/A8/Passat-'97on/Vito/Sharan/Galaxy all fit ok. Any
alloys with the above stud pattern capable of taking 195/60 up to 225/55
tyres considered.
As ever, cash waiting.
Cheers,
JB

You could almost get an old Carlton Estate in the back!! Yeah alright, it's not in your league :>) The wheels are 16" 5 stud, 112pcd, offset anywhere from 35-45mm. Apparently Audi 100 '91-on, A4/A6/A8/Passat-'97on/Vito/Sharan/Galaxy all fit ok. Any alloys with the above stud pattern capable of taking 195/60 up to 225/55 tyres considered.
