What size rim?

haventrader, Oct 26, 11:41am
I have a van with 205/60/R14.5 tyres. The rims are tired so want to replace them with alloys. What size rim is suitable? 14"?
Cheers

Unsure what the 14.5 means, never seen a decimal their so assume you mean 14. A 205/60 x14 tyre goes on a 14 inch rims 5.5-7.5 wide.

Cheers, it is indeed 14.5. It is unusual but apparently quite common on vans?

the question is, will a 14 inch rim fit over your drums or discs/calipers. if you search forums for your brand of van, someone will know what goes on.
To put 16's on my holden aventra (crewman), a aussie site told me the steel wheels off a early bmw roadster were the correct offset to clear my discs, worked great and improved ride truckloads.

being a 14.5 rim,i presume that is the rear rims only and the front are standard 14"or so, the rear tyres would be a super single that would have replaced two rims[dual tyres each side]so the stud pattern probably wont fit mags

All the tyres are the same, and the original did not have dual rear wheels. Wheels can be / have been rotated.

It sounds to me like you've got some of those metric wheels.
Chuck the B's away and get some 15's.
If 14's fit over everything with the right off-set, then go for them if you want

Be a great help to know what colour the van is!

haventrader, Oct 29, 8:23pm
Colour? Not sure how that relates but off-white, with go-faster stripes. Thanks for the advice though.

That went thru to the goalkeeper.

I thought it went over the crossbar, way over
