Fitting alloy wheels ???? Edited

Post by **mearnsy** » 29 Apr 2007, 10:57

I know i need longer bolts on the front but is there an adaptor that will let me do the back or do i need to fit the longer studs?

Recently bought my T25 so a bit new to all of this?

imo you wil most likely need longer studs on the back to fit em if they are alloys. I would reccommed converting to studs on the front too makes fitting wheels a breeze

fireturk supplied my extra legnth studs and simon at brickwerks my new nuts and studs , fireturk on ebay does the lot and great help , read wiki about ET and wheels , and take out the locating nuts in the rear drums if you use spacers. !!! Merc alloys fit without any machining of the centre youll need to take the stud holes out to 14mmm using a blacksmiths drill £5 from good tool shop !! ust put merc alloys on my van and went on a treat check out tyre sizes also , or your van with rev like a bugger

i have and saved it to my desktop, this is my first t25 and i just dont want to buy the wrong bits. Can i buy them from you?

i have been offered some audi alloys at a good price but the centre hole is 57mm where it needs to be 66mm. To drill this out is it best to give to an engineer or do myself?

Or should i just look for some merc wheels?

I think you will struggle to find a 66mm drill bit!

Get the tyres off and take to a machine shop.

I sell all the parts required, yes.

I can do the machining of the wheel centres. Get the wheels to me and I charge a tenner per wheel to bore them to 66mm on a milling machine with a precision boring bar.

I`m in Rochdale, so you will need a carrier to get them to me and back, PM me if interested.
