Caddy first timer

Post by petedonovan96 »

Hi there,
New to this, just about to collect my ex-bg van, looks very tidy except for wheels which look sh*t. Going to change for new alloys but what size fits and any other advice would be much appreciated,
Thanks in advance, Peter.

welcome

You can fit all the way up to 20 inch if you wanna put the work in, i personally will be fitting 17-18 inch because i think its a decent balance of easy fitment/looks/performance/tyre cost

good luck fella

Thanks for the help guys,
I have found a set I'm interested in, only thing I'm not sure on is the offset and width I need, do you have any ideas? Also am I right in thinking that the pcd is 5x112?
Thanks again.

Hi Mate,
I had the same worries when fitting wheels on my caddy (also an ex BG)
look at this website, I found it very useful.
The PCD is indeed 5x112.

Hope this helps.

Sorry about this guys, had one more question, I'm wondering whether there would be enough clearance for a 205 tyre as the van comes stock with 195 tyres.
Thanks for the help, Peter.
