Fitting Hyundai Alloys!!!

[vandorasbox]

Hi all!!

I have a set of 15" x 6.5J alloy wheels with a PCD of 114.3 (4 stud!!) (off a Hyundai!!)

Can I get adapters to make them fit?? And what perils will I face?? Can I get a commercial tyre to fit??
Plus, can I lower? or stiffen my suspension??

I do use my van, to occassionally carry furniture!! but mainly to carry my fishing gear!! Plus I tow caravans and trailers, but not very often!!!!!!

Thanks for your advice!!

i'd keep away from 4 stud alloys - not strong enough imo

if you do want to fit some alloys via adapters you need to do a few measurents as on a mk6 theres not much room under the arches

eventually i'll get round to redrilling a set of front hubs but as of yet i dont think its been done

as far as the weight it donesnt matter what you carry its what the van will take - for tyres you need to check them as each one has a weight rating on - all commercial and light truck tyres will be ok - for the wheels you just need to make sure they dont have a weight limit cast into them - if they do make sure it exceeds half theaxle weight limit

Cheers for that!!

There a really nice aftermarket wheel, but I wasn't sure if they'd be suitable, I was contemplating selling them on ebay, which I think I'll do now and find something more suitable! Any ideas on whats available??

well if you dont want any hassle

but if you do want to go down the adapters/redrill route you have a much better range and end up with a more individual van - go for BMW or mercedes PCD's bmw has a big range and mercedes shares the pcd with vw/audi and a few more - but also the vito and vw transporters have the wheels on

if you do want to go for adapters you'll need to do some measuring to see what offset you can under the arches and take it from there Greg (carnut1100) can do you drawings in cad so you can have adapters made on CNC

Thanx again!!

I like to be different, so I will have a look at whats about before I make any kind of discussion!!

Cheers again Mate!

Oh! and do you know if theres a diameter limit?? i.e. 16" 17" 18" etc. or does it depend on the width and under arch??

[Luke]

no diameter limit really sportvans have 18" standard waiting for a transit on 24" rims

[vandorasbox]

haha!! That would be cool!!

Lowered on hydraulics no doubt???

what about 5 stud off a Santa Fe there was a set on EBAY recently, they can take the weight I've got a 2.7 V6 with autobox in mine and it's a couple of tons I think

[vandorasbox]

I never gave that a thought!!!

Do you know what the stud pattern is like? is it similar? or is modification required?? if you know??

[Missile]

never tried putting them on the van but see

[vandorasbox]

will check it out!!

cheers!!

don't fit, but could you put hubs off Santa Fe on transit axles?

don't fit, but could you put hubs off Santa Fe on transit axles?

they still won't take the weight - the smallest transit GVW is well over 2000KGs - just buy some proper commercially rated alloys anf then you won't have to worry about the likes of VOSA etc

[vandorasbox]

thanks peeps!!

i've got mine on ebay now!!! Given up on that idea!! lol

I have spotted a set of nice 17" Transit alloys which quite take my fancy, they look almost dark chrome like!! not sure if they'd suit my colour of van or not??? Trouble is I cant remember where I saw them, or what make they are!!!

Santa Fe ain't much lighter than my Transit as it's got a V6 2.7 lump in it, in fact Transit handles better!
