15" wide 5 rims

[dublicious]

I am going to apologise now for the new question.

I may be looking to replace my 14" stock rims to 15", my question is what ones can I use for my bus as I know splits and beetles had them?

Looking for a second hand set and keeping my options open.

Thanks all

They’re not that common now, but ,,, throw enough money at it and they might turn up.

Ozziedog,,,,,,good luck with the search :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

That's done it, sticking to 14s

Most second hand ones for sale are Beetle rims which are narrow and not a great offset.
JK do new reproduction rims if you can use an inner tube - I still haven’t understood if the requirement is real or advisory?
Crows feet rims are about but not cheap …

Thanks buddy, looking at the cost and some of the challenges I am going to stick to my 14s

Try and source some type 3 wide 5 wheels, they're 15" and have a similar offset to bus wheels.

Am struggling to find a standard steel 15” wheel as a spare.
Any suggestions what to look for??

As mentioned on another thread, if it’s fir a spare, it’s just to get you home so don’t worry unduly about what size it is. In my mind, the smaller the better as it’ll take up less space. Just check that your van is drivable with it front and rear. I’m pretty sure 70s and onward were 14s from stock.

Ozziedog,,,,,,,,,modern cars have space savers or nuffink but a can. :mrgreen:

Standard steels are 14", some split bus steels are 15" but only 4.5" wide.
What pcd are you after, 5x 205 or 5x 112?

Are you a 72 bus on 112 pcd stud pattern?

 

[Ben72Bay]

Sorry I missed this Clem.
Yes - 72 bus on 112 pcd

Thanks
Ben

In that case it’s aftermarket wheels only as far as I know. Just Kampers do some 15” stock looking rims in this pcd.

T25 synchro rims are probably quite rare.

Some later T25 and T4 are 15" 5x 112mm wheels.
Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz also had models with 5x 112 pcd wheels.
