hi tiago
the wheels on my van were chrome weller wheels, the front are 6 inches wide, 14 inch diameter and the rears are 7 inches wide and 14 inches in diameter, the front tyres are 185 55 14 and on the rear they are 225 40 14. the chrome had gone rusty so I cleaned then up primered them with 2 pack and painted them black.
cheers
browny.

so its been ages and the van still aint had its makeover yet, looked back through this thread and it was painted in 2009 :shock: so its getting to the point where it really needs sorting out. got me a new pair of front wings, still got some bits to buy, arches front and maybe rear, and been investigating the air shocks I bought to go on the rear, looks like i'll be fitting vertical turret boxes(mk2 escort) in the back and mount them on the top of the axle, got another set of wheels that I might try to fit on it aswell
gonna be a busy winter
more soon.
