Hi

Tried tech pages and searches but i need a spanners guide to fitting these to see if it's worth it.

I have my heart set on Some Persche Design 90's for my 'velle but i guess i'll need adaptors as the PCD is different but not sure that the offsets are right and what that means i'll need to do to get them to fit. 

My van's also lowered 60mm

thanks for any advice

20 to 25 mm hand r wheel adapters. speak to charlie at

www.t3tuning.co.uk

as long as whels are 6j and 8 j you should have no probs......make sure you get a tidy set and not some of these four for a hundred quid jobs as your wheels may shake like buggery!!!

i got them on my bus (same wheels too) and no probs chap.

I think he's on about the adapters chap

Think Jason had a set of 4 for £100 and his wheels wobbled,since getting the H & R adapters the problem has stopped

Apologies Jason if you didnt mean that

ah! -   makes sense now.  what do you guy do about having a massive offset and 8 inch wide wheel on sliding door side?  is fitting a long doo hinge the only option?

what about wheel nuts and studs etc.??

the ones on mine are 8 inch rears and six inch fronts and there is no need to extend the hinge they pass with a fair bit of room (on 225 wide tyres)

i bought bridgestone 8 ply commercials for the fronts but an eye watering 230 quid!!! they look like car tyres but have the correct load rating.these are merc vito standard fit apparantly

the rears are reinforced car tyres.

my bus is a full weight camper.

i didnt bother with any tracking as it all seemed ok

hope this helps chap

Hi Blofeld - See also my similar thread called 'Porsche Design 90's - Opinions Sought' elsewhere on this page.  The guys have answered my questions too and I think you will find the Q's and A's useful.

£230 for front tyres  I hope that's a pair...Jason?
