Wheels

Hello,

I was just wondering what size wheels and tyres people are running on their Split Vans. I have been looking into 17" but they look to be a bit of a nightmare to fit ?

Thanks,

Adam.

I'm ruinning 16x7 with 205 tyres. they are after market 5 spokes with 5x112 pcd. When I converted to disks on the front I used a later beam and IRS on the rear from a bay, hence the 112 pcd. I found that the fronts rubed on the inner arches, so I had the beam narrowed and adjusters fitted so I can raise it up on camping trips when fully loaded.

I have seen a split with 18" rims and 50 profile tyres, which looked great, but the suspention was almost solid to stop it rubbing.

If you are on the original PCD (5x205 I think ) your choise of wheels is far more limited.
