Alloys/tyres

[CaspersCali]

Hi
Need a couple of tyres on my 2022 Beach on Claytons.
Once upon a time people used to pick up new claytons (and tyres) from converters for less than the cost of the tyres.
Assume less Claytons doing the rounds nowadays? Would you fit 16" Syracuse from a multivan to a T6.1 beach / anyone done than. Have seen them online but not sure I have in the flesh to really tell.

Thanks
Tony

As the base of the van is from 2003 all the way up to 2024, if you have the 16" front brakes, every wheel from the T5 up to the T6.1 will fit on any vehicle.
If you have the 17" front brakes, you can only fit 17" or up, not 16", so I wouldn't know why the wheels from a Multivan wouldn't fit your Beach.

Cheers. Dont know much about the multivan. Didnt know if it was a different offset or something.

The 17” Kato’s from my 6.1 stuck out loads on the multivan.
So the 16” wheels from a Multivan might be too far in on your 6.1.
Could use spacers I guess.
But spacers are Not Recomended.

From googley.

VW (T5/T6/T6.1) wheels typically have a high positive offset (ET) ranging from ET50 to ET55 for factory alloy wheels, such as the 7x17" Devonports. For the newer T7 model, recommended offsets range from ET58 to ET60. Lower offsets (e.g., ET30–45) are common for aftermarket 20" wheels to sit flush with the arches.

Common OEM Multivan Wheel Offsets:

• T5/T6/T6.1 (2003–Present): Generally ET50–ET55.
• T7 (2021–Present): Generally ET58–ET60
