15inch kombi wheel offsets?
Hey everyone.
I've got a 77 kombi that I'm fitting 15 inch wheels to and off road tires. I'm lifting it one spline at the back and fitting adjusters in the
front. I need to find wheels for it but I'm not sure what off sets to look for? I'm thinking I'll use mercedes steel wheels or some Audi mags if i
can find them. Any info would be great.
Thanks,
Alex.

Anyone? I've seen the offsets posted somewhere here before, I looked for them again and couldn't find it.
Alex.

Hi mate, you want ET 37 off set, tried this on my bus with 235 75 tyres and had about equal clearance both sides to spring plate and guard, they were
merc rims off a c series, about 6.5" wide, my old man snavelled them so am looking out for another set myself

Hey crazyfiggi
Here is a spreadsheet I did for my 69 Kombi. The 69 kombi is a little bit tight on the rear with the guard not having the flair that the 71 models on
do. I found when I finally had some wheels made for mine that the 235's did not quite fit so I have some 225's on the rear and 195's on the
front.
