Hi there
I am considering a change of wheels for my daily driver Courier van, the originals are grubby and i am going to change them, just wondered what would
fit?
I would like to consider GT6 or Spitfire wheels - would these just bolt on ok, or be too wide or have wrong studs??
cheers

Hi, 5.5J GT6 wheels work just fine or if you want to retain the correct look, have a look at Roger Englands' profile, he has a set of Dunlop 5.5J
wheels on his Vitesse. These give extra width and retain the normal hubcap giving a deep dish look. Most Spitfires use a 4.5J rim size and wouldn't
give any advantage over your existing rims (assuming they're standard).

Any Herald/Vitesse/GT6/Spitfire wheel will fit (as will ones from a Marina I think!). No advantages in anything from a Herald or Vitesse (indeed most
Herald wheel will be narrower than you Courier wheels) but it all depends on what you want; just another set of wheels, a different look, or wider
wheels for wider tyres.
