Hey guys just looking at some new wheels and found some 16x7.5" 5x112 et45 which I like. Any ideas if they will fit my 1990 T25?
Thanks.

Re: Wheel fitment
Not without spacers, longer rear studs and longer front bolts....the load rating needs to be high enough for a van that can weigh as much as 2.5 tonne as well....at least 650kg per wheel.

Re: Wheel fitment
Thanks Steve. These are banded steels - does that make any difference to loads? I already have long studs on the back and some 15mm spacers. Fronts have long bolts and 10mm spacers currently. I've got Audi A4 alloys at the moment.

Re: Wheel fitment
Not a fan of [bodged]cut,widened and welded[bodged] wheels as there's no way of knowing if they're load rated or not so it's your call wether to use them or not...I wouldn't.

Not a fan of banded wheels either.Bet your insurers won't be in the event of an accident.I would have a word with them before fitting.

Re: Wheel fitment
Oh....are they 57mm or 66mm centre bore as 57mm wheels don't fit.

Re: Wheel fitment
Cheers for the responses guys. I think I will give the banded steels a miss. Might paint my current wheels or look for something different.
Cheers.
Cheers.

Re: Wheel fitment
Hi guys any idea where to get longer rear studs for t25 ? Seem to be v expensive on ebay and I'm not sure what length studs I need for 18" vw alloys with 15mm spacers. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Re: Wheel fitment
Brickwerks sell them.They could possibly help with what length you want.
