18' x 11' rims on rear of T25

Post by Hannover Heritage »

Hi There,

Just a quick shout to see if anyone has managed to put 18' x 11 'J' rims on the back of there 25?

I'm just in the process of doing it and I know it all depends on the offset.

I've 18 x 11's to go on the rear and 18's x 9.5's on the front.

But just putting the feelers out.

It looks as though I'll have to extend the rear wheel arch out around 35mm and I cant go to low either.

I've seen a lot of buses with 9's or at most 9 1/2's but never 11's

It's gonna look RAD!!!!!!!

I'll post it on my site when I start her.

Stuart.

Get ready for some work.
I have 9's on the back of mine, there is milimetres between the spring tower and the tyre!
The sliding door just opens, but scratches the wheel.
They are Porsche cup 2's, with the adapters the offset is ET30.

As for the front, 7/12's to 8's is the maximum, depends on the offset as to what they are going to catch, the arch or the top arm.

Hope you got power steering. :lol:
