Hey there.
Does anybody know which brand of cars mag wheels can fit a bay window type2? I know that Mercedes wheels fit but have also herd that Audi, Bmw, and volvo wheels can fit. Is this true? On a web site there was a van which had 5 stud Honda wheels on it. When fiting mag wheels onto a kombi do you need to fit longer studs? What is involved in this? cost? Also....does anyone know of any stores that sell second hand wheels in Sydney?
Any advice would be great...thanks.

I know for a fact that Merc rims fit, and I've also seen Audi wheels on a kombi, but I'm not sure about the Volvo wheels.

As far as needing new studs goes, it depends on the wheel. Most steelies should be ok with the stock studs, but alloy wheels tend to be thicker and depending on the type of nuts you use, may necessitate longer studs.

Wheel offset is also an issue that will mean the difference between a wheel being suitable or not. 🙂

I'm pretty sure Volvo and BMW are the same stud pattern as Holden.
