Hi newbie here, just got hold of my first T4 after years of driving veedubs and have a quick question about wheels. Does anyone know if 255/50/18 Merc wheels will fit a T4, i believe they are from a Vito traveliner.
Thanks

Welcome to the forum, what offset are they bud?

 

[luckyluke]

Hi mate, they are 48 offset. I think they are replicas merc rims.

Hi yep the rims will fit but the tyres are way to big you wont get a 50 series tyre on without rubbing your arches away to nothing

cheers

Thats not a problem as the tyres are shot anyway and will need replacing. I keep reading that you need high load rating tyres but do these come in low profile?

 

[higgy]

yep you get a 97xl extra load 225 40 18 for about £60 each

Thanks for all your help, gonna pick them up tonight

You'll need spigot rings too.

Well didn't get them in the end, one of the wheels was buckled and had a hairline line crack! Bloody seller telling me they were mint. Anyone got a set of wheels forsale?
