Wheel spacers

Post by mgl963 »

Hi Folks
Can someone recommend which wheel spacers to use - what size and where I can purchase some
.
I want to fit my standard van wheels with 165 or 175 tyres
Thanks Matthew

What year / cwt is your van? Standard wheels on earlier vans were the same width as car ones and should be used with 145 or possibly 155 tyres. Later vans had wider wheels which accepted 165 or 175 tyres. If not already present, then you would be better (and safer) to obtain the proper later wider wheels rather than using spacers and tyres that are too wide for the rim.
