I've just had a thought, i'm about to buy some nice new alloys for the van.
There is only four on offer, what do i do for a spare? Can you easily get 15" steels to fit the T3?
Thanks again

Re: 15" steel wheel ???
gowesty do a 15" steel 7 " wide. why not use the standard 14"? are you getting your wheels from a supplier that will sell you wheels with the wrong offset and the wrong size tyres? worth checking before you buy. remember the supplier will tell you anything to get your money.

Think i might be being a numpty here,
I'm buying the alloys with out tyres! does this mean when i get tyres i can go and get ones that will still make my 14" spare wheel suitable.
Never purchased tyres before, havent a clue
Thanks

Re: 15" steel wheel ???
your 14" steels give you the correct speedo reading and the correct gearing for your van, if you but the right tyres for the alloys the circumrance will be the same as the og 14" so you can keep the og as a spare. remember to keep wheel nuts and bolts for the steels as these are different to the alloy ones.

Use a 205/65/15 tyre and this will give you the same diameter as a 185/14 tyre. Mercedes W126 S class 15" steel wheels will fit a T25
