Thanks MozzGTI
I'm wanting to install a set of X5 wheels but not sure what size to go. Hard to way up looks to ride, may try a set of 19's.

What are the wheels on here?

**ryheaney** · 10-02-2015, 10:21 PM

They are ta technixx coilovers wound down to the very lowest. The back is just a spring without the adjuster.
The rims are 19s. 10inch wide in the back with 9s on the front. You can get a kit to fit the wheels on ebay it's really easy! I stretched the tyred abit aswell (lucky as the front only has a millimetre or so to spare from the guard)

I also changed the two captain seats for a bench.

The inside is probably the best part! It's a full camper. Has a dual battery, inverter, tv, microwave, has cooker that slides out, fridge and the whole draw set up.
It's amazing for surf trips. I won't have the suspension in for long. Just for shows and what not. This is used as a surf van every weekend.

I'll chuck some photos up of the inside adap!

Hi Do you still have the Captains seats - I may be interested?

Where did you purchase the X5 wheels from?
