HI Everyone. Been a lurker for a few years but now could do with a bit of advice. I know Granada Alloys will fit but can they take the weight of a T3 bearing in mind a Granada is only just over a ton in weight. Thanks a lot

Yurp, if there genuine wheels they would have been over engineered anyway. ive seen fake shit made from cheese bolted to these vans....... Thats ofcourse my opinion and someone will probably disagree

Had Ford Granada Cossie wheels on my T3 for 5 years with no buckles/cracks/issues if that helps mate.

It's not rust, they're heat blisters....

Thanks for the advice. I've bought them but unfortunately they didn't have the centres which I'll now have to hunt down. The JBW wheels I had on when I bought it aren't strong enough, one of them went out of shape on a pot hole.

I doubt the original center caps will fit without using spacers? |

I didn't know that, I thought they'd just push on. I'm beginning to think that I might as well have bought more expensive wheels once the cost of spacers and centre caps are added. Does anyone know what size spacers I'll need?

Spacers depend on your offset then you need to consider stud length to compensate

I've emailed the seller. Looking online it seems the offset is 40 so the caps might just fit

I've got Granada cosworth wheels for mine, test fitted the other day and went on no problem with no spacers. Think I'll need wheel nuts with a bigger head but apart from that no issues. Can't wait to get the centres painted black and rim polished

Have you painted the wheels black and did you change the wheel nuts?
