Van wheels (again)

Post by Mog-nuts »

Hi, yet another question on wheels ! When using LP917 van wheels with 165/70 profile tyres,is it necessary to fit wheel spacers? Thought i'd better check before i invested in the tyres. Any answers greatfully received

I've just fitted these wheels with 155 tyres - and at the front the tyre is very close to the upper trunnion. The handling is fine on 155s - BIG improvement over standard wheels - I really think 165 is a bit wide for a 4.5J wheel. Would normally be fitted to a 5 or 5.5 wheel.
