18"sport alloys

[chep]

a seen the transit sport alloys on a transit mwb semi high fwd think it was the 280 of 300 today at work it looked mint had chunky tyres on though given me ideas for my mwb now didnt think they would go on mine,seeing as its the bigger van from the sport .will take my camera with me 2morrow to hopefully get a pic of the van (if its there fingers crossed) to let u guys see

i'd be interested in the pics also get the details of the tyres size aspect ratio make etc.

dont like that, not enough to fill the arches

Needs higher profile tyres, And the wheels probably arnt rated to be fitted to a 300

[Scotty86]

I think it looks smart, only one problem though...the mini scarf on the window

[Luke]

that looks different being on a shr but i like it i know what guy means about the profile - when you look at the sportvans i think a higher profile wouldn't go a miss, just think it suits vans more

are there any weight limits on the sportvan wheels a 280 would only be an extra 50kg per wheel

[Scotty86]

Where would you get higher profile tyres for the sportvan alloys and have you got any examples? Gonna be ordering my alloys within the next few weeks for the mk7. Once i've earned more cash

[Luke]

245/50/18 should give you an extra 10mm side wall
245/55/18 should be an extra 24mm ish note thats on each side of the wheel

but can you get those sizes and within the weigh limits

[chep]

totally understand what guy88 is saying the wheels not filling the arches enough to be honest and i know this sounds daft but when u see the van the tyres look alot chunkier ,although i would still maybe consider a tyre size bigger ,the guy got the alloys from ms design n b4 ordering the person checked what van it was going on for weight etc n they gave the go ahead so i would imagine they would be safe

that a valeting van by any chance chep

seen it in kirky but never had sportvan alloys on it think it was tourneo wheels it had when i seen it

the guy who has it is a plumber/ heating engineer am prtty sure the guy only had tin wheels on it b4 the sport wheels u should see it though u could eat your dinner off the floor of it wish a could keep mines as clean defo going to try n get the same wheels for mine now although a think a mite go for a little chunkier tyre as mine is the mwb as well n a want the arches to be filled up a bit

[Scotty86]

Aye us heating engineers always have the best looking vans

went and seen a local tyre guy to ask about sizes and weigh limits he said i could get 245/50/18 or 235/55/18 on the sport alloys within the weight limits for my mwb a seen the 235/55/18 tyre looks quite chunky but not to much to take the look away from the alloy so should fill out the arches quite well heres a pic of a 18 inch alloy with 235/55/18 tyres nxt to the transit to give u an idea of the tyre size against the arches
