Wheels and suspension?

Post by Tango353 »

Hi folks, I need to change the wheels on my recently bought ex rac swb 2012 caddy.
The ones on it are nice 19" alloys but are too wide and foul the sliding door. The tyres are also low profile and I use the van for fishing, so I'm wondering about buying a new set of steels and going the all terrain look.
The suspension looks to be at its highest.

If I leave the suspension as is, what is the ideal size steel I would need, maybe with some BF Goodrich on?

Thank you, I appreciate your input.

Sorry no pics of the wheels I have on at the mo, I'm positive they belong on a car.

I like the sound of the all terrain look, do it.
There's a couple of alltrack and cross Caddys on the forum, might give you and idea.

Yes, it's a look I like, not to mention it would be more suitable.
Being a newbie I'll come back to this thread to ask about tyre sizes.

I've seen some steels with offset 50 6.5j. 5x112.

Suitable tyre size without going over board?

Or would 17" be more suitable?

Thank you.

So if I go out and buy a set of 16" steel wheels, what size A/T tyre I should be looking at with as above specification .

Trying to price up.
