I wanted to mention that I am not in anyway trying to throw GW under the "bus".... GW supports me all the time with wonderful service. I am just trying to find alternatives now that I am restoring and repainting the exterior. > Date: Fri, 18 Feb 2011 21:55:40 +0000 > From: fittdog8848@HOTMAIL.COM > Subject: 16" wheel kit > To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM > > Hey everyone, > > Happy Friday! > > First YES another wheel and tire post. Yes I know 14s work great. But once I went to a wider tire and larger I will never go back as the ride is Amazing. I know folks use different wheel converts and I am looking for alternatives to gather information and make an educated buy. > > I am reaching out to the list to see if anyone else is having an issue with the GoWesty 16 wheel kits? The issue I am having is that the frnt wheels stick out way too far and spray rocks all up the sides of the van even with SA mudflaps. I do not want to get flares onteh fenders as I do not like the way they look. I don't think that dropping down to the 15s will help either as they are almost just as wide. > > > > Looking for advice and also suggestions as to what wheels 15 or 16 I could use instead. Should I go with Audi wheels and bore out he center for a better offset? Is there a way to fix the 23mm offset on teh gowesty wheels to increase the offset bring the hweel in further? > > and last.....If anyone wants a set of GOWESY wheels and Yokohama 215/65/16 tires let me know. > > > Thanks in advance. >
