Aftermarket Wheels - Looking For Places To Buy Them From

Post by Ben_R »

Hi guys.

I have been trying (unsuccessfully) to find some online websites that offer a good range of aftermarket wheels for the Astro/Safari. I am looking for similar style wheels that you see fitted to the vans in Japan. If anyone can point me in the right direction to some it would be appreciated.

What is the correct offset to choose and can this be changed without running into problems i.e fouling the brakes?

I am also looking at staggered widths but wondered how wide or thin can safely I go on the front and rear without running into any problems?

The van is a '96 with Bilstein suspension all round.

Thanks in advance :cheers:

Take a look at www.SummitRacing.com. Their prices are about as good as you will find.

Not too worried about prices tbh, just looking for a good varied selection. I'll take a look at the link now, thanks :)

Just to confirm that the bolt pattern is 127.00mm?

I have attached a couple of pictures of wheels I like does anyone recognise them?
