problem is because of the offset you'll find the new wheels will proberbly stick outside the arches thats why you dont get many on mk6/7's

Im not really to fussed as its not really used much its just a toy really sometimes tows car trailer but very rare i saw a white mk6/7 at vw show few weeks ago with huge rims on but it was driving round compsite and i never managed to get a proper look.

Which is what I'm trying to say about the 6 stud Mk5's, but they have even more offset.

yeah but the chineese mk5 alloys dont have adapters - just like the sportvan wheels fit mk7's

And I suspect the chinese Mk5 has totally different running gear.

I would think you could be right Mike, cos does it not have a Isuzu engine

i can't see it - engines one thing but why would you redesign the front suspention it's designed to fit round the bodyshell which is the same and is pritty unique - seems a lot of hassle to go to for what so you can fit alloys

i think it's more a case of UK testing is more strick and the 6 stud alloys wouldnt be strong enough so they didnt bother

what we need is a photos of one thats been crashed and on it's side so we can see what axles it's got

I think i have found someone who will make them for me but does anyone know the offset of a standard sportvan wheel so i can work out what wheels im gonna use with the adaptors im currently away so i cant have a look myself !!

[Luke]

make sure the ones you have made have the locating boss on them- very important for safety

and i think 20mm is the narrowest you can get them

dunno about the sportvan wheel ET but i think the infos on here allready
