Alloy wheel & tyre questions!
Posted: 12 Mar 2009, 16:17
I know there are lots of threads & info on wiki regarding Alloys & Tyres, but could anyone advise whether Van Rated alloys exist or is it just the tyres that need to have a suitable load rating?
I am looking to get a new set of alloys for my '89 Westy & was wondering which wheel dimension (15",16" or 17") was best & easiest to get, especially coupled with tyres that won't affect the rolling radius or scrape on body work & suspension (van lowered by 30mm)??
Not sure whether to go modern or retro, so;
Do T4/T5 alloys fit without modification?
Can anyone suggest a reputable wheel supplier, other than the ones in VW Camper & Bus (JGE, SSP etc)? OR even advise of good experiences with companies advertised in VWC&B!!?
Ta!
