Title: small wheels
Post by: momos on March 19, 2011, 09:56:34 PM

quick one, the tyres on the van are 155 70 12, the stud is 4 x 100
but they are bald and the wheels are shite so thinking of getting a set off ebay
only asking because folks are selling standard mini alloys with new tyres cheap enough wanting to get better ones
but are my rims 10 or 12 inch...
cheers!

Early Mini wheels won't fit they be 4 x 4" or 101.6 for modernists.

You can use wobble nuts but they be pish truth be told.

Google bedford rascal pcd.

4 x  100 is mainly Vaux VW Renault and some Japs.

Don't know how many will be 12s,if you could stretch to 13s your choice is greatly improved.

you could go up to 165/50/15  or 155/60/14 or 155/65/14  with no real problem if you want to bling it up. :hysterical:, you would just have to trial fit to make sure no rubbing problems

what offset are your current wheels? Loads of stuff runs 100x4, stick to 13 or 14 though as the tyres are easy to get & cheap, have a set of 13" steels going to the scrappy you can have gratis but I expect they are just as shite as the ones you have already.

stick some 13's on then the tyres will be slightly cheaper and your not stuck with the mini only type. plus with 13's you should be better with a van choice of tyre

Recommended rim size for this tyre is 4-5.5j so the answer is yes
