Hi all,
Could any one tell me if 18" RX8 Alloys will fit straight onto a 2000 V6 Aero Bongo.
I have just bought some from a friend as he had a lot of offers for them and had to grab them quick.
Secondly do I have to get better load rating tyres for them too, if so what is your advise.
thank u in advance all feed back is greatly appriciated.....

Minimum load ratings are 92 front and 96 rear. However, as you'll probably fit the same tyres all round, I'd go for a minimum of 96 load rating. Unfortunately, the ratings are harder to get in 18" tyres, but they are about 8)

It's not that easy with 18" wheels, which is why lots of us went for 17".
You could try here http://www.mytyres.co.uk/start.html - 245/45x18 are a little bigger than standard , but fit OK and there's lots to choose from 8)
