Thanks MozzGTI
I'm wanting to install a set of X5 wheels but not sure what size to go. Hard to way up looks to ride, may try a set of 19's.

What are the wheels on here?

[ryheaney]

They are ta technixx coilovers wound down to the very lowest. The back is just a spring without the adjuster.
The rims are 19s. 10inch wide in the back with 9s on the front. You can get a kit to fit the wheels on ebay it's really easy! I stretched the tyred abit aswell (lucky as the front only has a millimetre or so to spare from the guard)

I also changed the two captain seats for a bench.

The inside is probably the best part! It's a full camper. Has a dual battery, inverter, tv, microwave, has cooker that slides out, fridge and the whole draw set up.
It's amazing for surf trips. I won't have the suspension in for long. Just for shows and what not. This is used as a surf van every weekend.

I'll chuck some photos up of the inside adap!

Hi Do you still have the Captains seats - I may be interested?

Where did you purchase the X5 wheels from?

[ryheaney]

Sorry I don't have them anymore.

You can get the x5 wheels second hand off gumtree or something there should be heaps for sale.

Looks really clean with it that low. Nice work mate.

Where did you purchase the X5 wheels from?

I got my x5 alloys of ebay. From this guy:
http://www.ebay.com.au/usr/888bond888?_trksid=p2047675.l2559
Hes really detailed in the descriptions and answers any questions and sends more photos if need be.
I got my wheels in 1 day to the gold coast once he shipped them from Sydney.

This the the view from opening the sliding door.

[ajvx01]

That's great! Where did you get the front bench from? I'm wanting to do the same..

[ryheaney]
