wheel fitment

  1. got me some new wheels but dont think they will fit , can anyone confirm for me as i cant get to my bus right now
    they are 17 x 9j x 40 et and 17 x 8j x 35 et
    thanks
     
  2. What suspension setup are you running? 8 and 9j are quite wide.
     
  3. what rims do you have - post some pics :)

    nine inch wide wheels are going to be a struggle on the rear - tbh i don't think you'll get them on without serious modification. i have 7" et25 with 205/60 which sits central in the arch on the rear and i have about 10-15mm clearance either side. your 9" rim will be 40mm closer to the spring plate based on my maths and i don't think there's that much room in there.

    8" et35 on the front will poke loads - are you on a stock beam or narrow?

    for 8" front you really need something like a 205 width tyre (maybe wider) which will make your steering pretty hard at low speeds :)

    use willtheyfit.com to work stuff out.
