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.

18' x 11'foot rims, i think you'll need more than the wheel arches extending mate Ha! Ha! Ha!. Rad's not the word i would use though.

I have 18"x9J front and 10J rear on mine.

9.5/11J should go with the right offset but you will definitely need an extended door hinge (even with some very careful calculation mine still catches slightly).

You might need a wider arch depending on your offset to get around MOT regs. I can supply a set of Syncro style arch or the Projektzwo ones.

im goingto be running 10's out back.. mine are a fairly low et and i still need spacers to clear the springs+swing arm...

thats one of the rear wheels..
9's up front are a bit big on a t3.. i ran 18x8.5 et 20 fro a while all round and they were only just in the front arch.. plus there wasnt much more space inward..

gona run 18x8 or posibly 18x7.75 up front depending how i set them up..
still waiting on the other front porsche outer sections so i can play around with the setup..

much more than a 235 tyre on the front of a t3 is a waist.. and the edges will end up being scrubbed quick even with the correct camber set up..
WHY T3's.... because they are just so adictive, and having one just aint enough
