    T5 wheel choices.

    So the time is fast approaching that my t5 work van needs some new tyres. I thought while this is happening I would see what other options are out there for wheels, its a work van so I'm not after "bling king" 20" monsters but I wouldn't mind swapping the steel wheels for something a but wider so I can get some decent rubber under the guards for when I work in the hills in winter.

    Are there any common cars that share a wheel pattern with the t5? Was there any decent vw oem options?

    Any suggestions, pictures input etc would be great.

    Aaron.

    Yes Holden Commodore VT to VZ certainly fit , I have a set of alloy wheels off a Holden Commodore 1 Tonner dual cab ute . Personal opinion is they will match the load requirement as the Holden 1 Tonner was a V8 and had a 1 ton capacity . I bought mine off Ebay 5 with tyres $650 . The offset is perfect and the only thing to add is a set of hub rings as it centralises the wheels on the hubs. As a matter of interest Koya KJ wheels are also load rated for the T5 here is my work van with the Holden wheels .[IMG][/IMG] and our latest T5 with the Koya wheels[/URL][/IMG]

    I think they'll look great on a T5. Hopefully load ratings are OK.
