    need spacer/ pcd adapters, quite wide I think 8.5j , it’s doable, but quite spendy if the tyres need replacement and the wheels need refurb

  4. They're available in a 6 and 7" width too. Usually with a 50-55mm ET so 25mm thick 5x112-5x130 adapters bring them nicely into spec for a bay.

  8. I don't mean to sound unkind, but it does sound like you don't really know what you're doing here. If that is the case (and please accept my sincere apologies if not) then its probably best to not mess around with stuff..

    By "size" for a wheel its normal to have a measurement of not only diameter, but also width and offset. These numbers will indicate how it will sit in the arch and if the wheel will foul the suspension or bodywork. The other relevant numbers you need to consider are the pcd and centre bore, which will tell you if the bolt holes in the wheel will match the studs on your bus, and if the wheel will fit over the hub. Also worth noting that all wheel nuts are not the same, stud size and thread pitch can be different for certain manufacturers plus you have ball seat (small or large) or conical type nuts.. If you don't have this info or you don't know what any of this means then you may run into problems down the line, just saying
     
  9. Hope to Get Wheels today.I have guy that is looking into it

    If they need tyres a refurb, spacers , and wheel bolts expect to be close to £1000 by the end, assuming they aren’t to wide

  11. Not my bus. Just the first piccy i found on google.
     
  12. 20190323_163507.jpg ours had teledials fitted, 15 by 6j et 52.5. They were fitted using 25mm adapters. There was @10mm of clearance between tyre and arch 7 or 8j wheels would interfere with the rear outer arch if using spacers. You can buy redrilled rear drums which would definitely have rooms for the 7s and more than likely the 8s(depending on tyre size)...
    Bear in mind I only tried 6s on the front

  15. Here you go, a bit dismally small I'm afraid.
