Alloy Wheels

Post by websterianj » Sun May 10, 2015 6:15 pm

Hi. Can anybody advise if a set of 18" stock alloys from a 2007 RX8 will fit a 1996 Bongo? Thanks. Ian

Yes they will fit, but you will need different tyres with the right load ratings.
I have a set of RX8 17 inch wheels on mine.

Have a read of this before buying a used set of RX8 alloys: http://www.igmaynard.co.uk/bongo/forum/ ... ce#p651263

Tyres are critical if you fit these, I ran on the standard RX8 tyres even on XL they are A not the right load rating and B too low profile.
I suggest 245/45/18 or 235/50/18, I used 245 as they were cheaper commonly used on Vauxhall Insignia.
