17" alloy wheels.... which ones will fit?

Postby mistericeman » Sun Jul 24, 2016 11:01 am

If I was to look for a set of alloys to fit my 350-90 extra long wheelbase...
which ones will fit from what??
Mondeo etc.
currently running 16's but I'd like to up the gearing a, bit to give it slightly longer legs on the motorway etc.

Any ideas please folks

Non as the studs are 5x160, only Transit wheels of the right load rating will fit, seeing that its an ELB

I doubt you'll find tyres bigger than 16" that'll take the weight?

Loot fitted 18" to his but had to down rate the motor to be legal

What size tyres have you on your 16" rims?
Mine has 215-75-16 are they taller?
The Fiat/Citroen/Peugeot vans have 225 size and are taller. Perhaps a set of those?

215/75 16 are the correct size for a 350
