Pls help I want to buy transit motorhome alloy wheels ?

[Jay156]

Hello,
I have a Ford transit 1995 motorhome that I want to put alloy wheels. It's a 6 studs. Anyone can help please?

I think I replied on facebook?

There are no alloys for transits with 6 stud wheels. Except a single set which was custom made, from billet, in Australia

Thanks for your reply Minormatt.
Can I swap 6 studs to 5 studs so I could put some alloys?
Will it be a direct swap ? Pls anyone let me know. Thanks

[MinorMatt]

Yes, and yes

But you will have much smaller brakes on the rear, and the axles arn't rated as highly. You may have problems with the insurance company with fitting worse brakes...

(Front hubs can be swapped straight over retaining the larger front brakes)

There is a reason why there are different hubs/wheels/tyres etc fitted to the bigger vans.

You *might* do better with a mk6 rear axle. It would need adaption to fit but has 5 studs and (model dependent) equivalent brakes

Hi Minormatt,
Would it also possible just to redrill from 6 to 5 studs?

No. sorry!
