Try Mercedes Vito steelies too, just make sure you check the stud pattern as I think some were not 5x112.

On my old bay i ran ford falcon 16 inch chasers that came from Ba series 2 up to current fg, looked sweet when lowered, heaps of tyre places have them
and from memory got a set for $15, even made time to try out differnt tyre combos to get the right look for me.
watever

If I'm not mistaken (it _has_ happened before) both the Territory and Falcon wheels are 5 X 114.3; they can be "made" to fit with some ghetto
engineeering but it's not something I would do, especially as there is a wide range of 5 X 112s with a variety of offsets available from Mercedes,
Audi, BMW etc.
I have seen wheels come off moving cars in South Africa, Fiji and Brazil so far - in fact I use it as one of the measures of state of development,
together with the use of DDT to control mosquitos, but that's another topic.

Yep, I'm with Peter above.
Ford have a 5x114.3 pattern (same as Nissan and other Japjap cars).
I don't recommend doing ghetto mods, best to either change brakes or just get a different wheel.

Whilst Ford is only a 2.3mm difference, thats enough to not seat the wheel properly and combine that with the fact Kombis use a ball seat wheel nuts
and Ford wheels have a taper seat wheel nuts there's Darwin award written all over it.

Nothing to do with fun police it is bad engineering practice that will load the studs in a way that they are not disigned to handle. just ask any
automotive engineer if he would put his name to it.
