Vannin' Home Forums General Discussion Wheels and Tires Finally---- wheels

Well finally today I picked up my new wheels, 15 x 8" Cragars, 5 of them, brand new in pretty new Cragar boxes. Boy they sure are wrapped well. Hopefully I`ll be able to get the tyres fitted tomorrow, looking at 245x60 or 245 x 65........... any thoughts?

Great looking wheels Congratulations!

I'm always in for shorter sidewalls, so I'd be going 60s for sure. But that's me.

The best wheels a van can get.

Congrats. Show some pics when you get them mounted.

cheers guys, I had a chat with my tire guy today, hes getting in a couple of sizes on monday to compare, he suggested 295 x x 70 rear and something like 235 x 60 front. now I`m confused ..lol.

Dropped the wheels off today for tyres (tires) to be fitted, I`ll pick them up in the morn and get them on the van,
Rim size 15" x 8" all round.......275x60 rear..... 255x60 front.

here we go....

Oh yeah......


Very nice.

Makes me jealous! Congrats!

Matman, would you have a side picture of your machine ? Just to compare with my G20.
Thanks a million.

I`m guessing by the name yours is a grey G20 and not the red one from Perth I saw here in Brissy at a meet a couple of years ago.. heres some pix of mine, before final paint and new wheels.
the other is my `84 G20 Zimmervan, a really awesome tool.. sold it a couple of years ago.
I have the old wheels and tyres from the blue one for sale.
cheers Matman

Mine is a 89 Grey / Blue not original colour.

Well? the only other vans that I know of are more like mine, Chevy people movers low roof or high roof but not that many! Not aware of no windows vans around. Yet !!
I wouldn't mind to remove the rear side window bays but scared of the cost. I swapped the alloy rims in the picture for the original Chevy rims from a friend's G20.
Still trying to make it holding the road properly, but not all the road !! I will use it mainly to tow my car trailer.

you can run 275/60 all the way around on that van, but maybe go with 245/60 on the front for the more classic look

Congratulations. That's cool if they are wrapped well. My husband doesn't remove the wrap for many days.

That's the same specs I ended up doing on my van x-)
