T4 & t2 pcd

Worst case 4mm further out...

So tire size is going to be the biggest factor in them working!!

 

i mite be wrong but i think the higher the number offset the more they will stick in
http://www.wheel-fitment.com/what-is-the-offset/

 

yeah... std et is 39... T4 is 35 to 38

 

ok i see now

 

That list posted previously lists the bay and wedge with an offset of 25 i take it that list is wrong then?

 

not sure if that list is right i just googled it and came up with et41 and et39 ive got a bently manual but cant find it in there

 

It should be stamped on an original wheel id imagine

This has got as confusing as a what oil thread lol

 

yeah will have to take a look this site has it at 25-35
http://www.alloywheels.com/Volkswagen-Transporter-T2-Alloy-Wheels

 

Why are they listed as 25-35?

Did they come in a range of offsets originally damm im getting more and more confused the more i look into this

 

With you on that para.

But the info I finished on was from ratwell I think so I'm fairly confident it will work with the 205/70r15's on the bored out t4 steels. I'm going to give it a lash I think!

 

Ill eagerly await your results then dude and if it all goes well ill do the same
I really hope it works out perfectly for you as they will be awesome on a bay
Do you know how much the diameter differs to stock wheels and tyres?

 

i cant find anything official on the offset but from looking on the other forums most say its et39 keep us posted foxy on how you get on

 

I've got some spare std rims kicking around, I'll have a measure up

 

Im pretty sure its stamped on that spare wheel in the back of my bus paul

 

cool, I'll have a squint at it

 

Woody ive checked a few places on the net and mercedes sprinters run 5 x 130 pcd where as a bay is 5 x 112 pcd so the studs wont line up with the holes on the wheels

Mercedes cars however do run 5 x 112 pcd which is why your alloys fit

Nope. They are vw

 

Well I had a squint, and then had to go and have a look at my OG spare from the fish...

No sign of et, but what they do have on them is size and width, month and year of manufacture, and the words "DOT" & "DIN"

I'll have to get one in the shed where it's not so freezing, and have a measure up!!

 

Merc Car Alloys will fit a bay, you can see them over
<<<<<<< here.
But you will have to drill out the wheel stud holes as Mercs use 12mm studs not 14mm.
You'll also need a longer set of wheel studs (JK do them cheap) and after all that you won't be able to fit the centre caps as the hub nuts stick through the holes, although you can cure this by making some of these.
