Mines a LHD and it's "normal" ie 5 x 112, are you sure you're ruler is right

or have you vauxhall or mazda wheels on it?

no its def 5x114.3 thats wots on back of wheels that fit . but all the 1ns that i come across are 112,s i do know about wheel fitments cos i work in a garage so im not wrong . it just strange fitment 4 the van

just because its says 114mm on the wheels it doesn't mean that the van pcd is! it just means someone managed to fit 114 pcd wheels on it

As stated all 25' s are 5x112, someone's just bodged the wrong wheels on.

which is what i was getting at!!

Possibly a bit subtle!

could be

How did they manage to get the Mazda wheels on?
I had a look with some rims I got for feck all - decided that I didn't want to make the rims unsalable to fit them or fudge up my Bus
they're going on the Bay and I'm getting some proper 112's

Late Bays are 112 too so still a bodge.

Its not really a bodge they will fit on fine with wobble bolts/nuts, the bolt holes may have been opened slightly to fit.

'nuff said!

At the end of the day it's your van mate so it's up to you.

jeez,,,,,,,,,

i wouldnt fit wobble bolts to anything i drive.

nasty nasty bodge

Opened up slightly
I went to 15mm dia holes, wasn't prepared to write off a perfectly good set of wheels to bodge them on.
I know our old buses ain't fast, but I want it done properly so that when I get the Scooby engine next year I won't have wheel issues
