18" alloys

Postby leon51274 » Wed Apr 02, 2008 9:17 am

Hi guys, does anyone now of a supplier of 18" alloys? Most i've seen are smaller and as i drive the 2.4 rwd i think smaller ones would look pants due to the wheel arch gap.

only 18" that are standard fitment are the sportvan alloys :D you can get other wheels redrilled o use adapters but getting 18" tyres for the weight rating might be difficult - whats the weight of your van? eg. T280 T300 etc. :D

i think thats the lowest rwd - so if it can be done thats the one to do it on :lol: the sportvans are only T260's tho :)
