6 Stud Banded Steels.

[Frank190]

Has anyone ever done this ? - if not is it possible and what would be a SENSIBLE size ?

I am going to do a pair for the front of my Mk1 LWB to 7" (+1.5") and fit 235/60x14.

Here is what they look like, fronts are 7" wide and fitted with 215/60x14, and rears changed to single rim, 9" width and fitted with 245/60x14

Yep, that pickup is soooo cool!

Yes still have the LDV, it is my "tow rocket" for my race car, and everything else besides. Building a 4.6 RR engine to slot into it:) Might band a pair of front wheels for this too.

I assumed you were asking for a dual rear wheel van, and not a Mk5 or something with 6 stud single wheels?

Was asking about single wheel six stud Mk4 150 lwb.

Aaaah, I should have asked first! In that case disregard the above posts

I think the 6 stud single wheels on the Mk4 & Mk5 vans are a "heavy duty" wheel, and probably thicker steel than the 5 stud wheels, just guessing as I don't know for sure. But I cannot see any reason why they cannot be widened the same way.

i think they might even fit back to front - i know the earlier ones do

[MinorMatt]

They would fit back to front... but with the offset you would need seriously wide arches (look at your mk1 pickup!)

[Frank190]

Matt - is there any wellers or landy wheels that could be re-drilled ?

[MinorMatt]

Not that I have found for 6 stud

If it were 6 x 170 it would be possible, but 6x180 is just too much
