Does anyone know if the wheel fitment is the same on a T4 as a T25??
Thanks, James.

PCD is the same, 112 x 5, but the centre bore on the T4 is smaller than the T25, you need to machine out the centre of the alloy to at least 64mm to clear the large front bearing cap on the T25.
If you are thinking of buying some VW alloys (maybe from Ebay?) then check with the vendor that the wheels sizes, ET especially are what he says they are. Had this problem, the ET was incorrect when my wheels came, had to buy some large spacers to cure the offset problem.
Look on Brickyard for all wheel related "what wheels fit" thread, check especially the ET and the overall sizes, or you will have clearance problems, especially with a lowered bus. Do your homework and it will go smoothly and look good.
Don`t forget that you will need longer studs at the rear and either extended front bolts, or better off with a stud conversion kit at the front so you can use the same nuts all round, and only have to buy one set of locking wheel nuts.
