quick question, wheel sice/pcd etc for '71 microbus?

[gavtheoldskater]

can anyone tell me what spec/size wheels i'm looking for to go on a '71 microbus.

i thought i would be happy with standard steelies and chrome caps but i seem to be getting a thing for period wolfrace slotted alloys.

I would have thought
15 x 4.5 front
15 x 5 rear
112 PCD

Or
15x5 all round
112 PCD

That is assuming you are stock and standard. If you're not a hundred percent sure, then pop up a pic with and without hub caps. If you're stock then the info above is spot on.

I have old wolfrace slotmag wheels on my 71.
They are 14" x 6" and 112 pcd
Tyres are 185/55 at the front (its lowered) and 185/80 at the back.
The offset is quite big, they stick out about 15mm more than stock steels.
I love them!

Is your bus lowered much, any probs with the wheels rubbing?

Is there a pic anywhere of it, I'd love to see what it looks like?

Its quite low and has a narrowed front beam which hides the offset, also I had them powdercoated black.



They would stick out quite a bit more than stock wheels on a stock width beam
