  • T4 wheels

    I'm looking at buying a 96 t4. it has 3 audi rims plus the steel spare currently on it. So what wheels would suit it, is there a sunraysia wheel that would fit?
    I believe the T5 has a larger stud pattern to the T4?

    Speedy used to do a steel wheel for them and there were a few alloys around but you have to be careful with load rating. T4 wheels do have a different stud pattern (5x112 from distant memory) and offset to T5 and T6.

      My van is fitted with Speedy Cougers that I presume were fitted by the original owner in '01. I have owned my van since May '08.
      Referring to a sales brochure I have, they only list one alloy wheel to suit the T4 that is 15 x 7 with 5x112 stud pattern.
      The only other vehicles I could see with the same stud pattern were in the VW/Audi group. The Audi A4 lists one the same as mine & also a couple in 16 & 3 in 17in with no mention of offset or load rating. As Seano has said be careful with load rating, it could affect any potential insurance claim.
      Understand how it works, troubleshoot logically BEFORE replacing parts.

        I believe T2/T3 wheels also have the same PCD, but the offset will be way different being rear wheel drive. So not sure if steel wheels are still available for them.

          If you go to some tyre and wheel shops they have special jig which they can put over the 5 studs it then tells them the size , obviously you then make sure from the selection that they are suitable for your van . We did this with our T5 back in 2004 Keith 4 Wheels was the place .This is the company that supplied our latest correct load rated wheels for our current van .Search Results | Koya Wheels
