Choosing the correct wheels and tyres for your van,Camper Van or Motohome is about more than just finding a style you like. The correct wheel size, width, offset, PCD and load rating all need to be considered to ensure the wheels are suitable for your vehicle.

Load Rating
Van wheels and tyres must be suitable for the weight of the vehicle, including passengers and any additional load. Always check your van’s axle weights and ensure the wheel and tyre load rating is high enough. This is particularly important on heavier models.

Wheel Size & Width
Larger wheels can transform the appearance of a van, while wider or higher-profile tyres can help create a more aggressive stance. However, the chosen combination needs to provide adequate clearance from the suspension, brakes and wheel arches.

PCD & Centre Bore
The wheel’s PCD (Pitch Circle Diameter) and centre bore must match your van or be compatible with the correct fitting hardware. Using the correct fitment helps ensure the wheel is securely and correctly mounted.

Offset (ET)
Wheel Offset (ET) determines how far the wheel sits in or out in relation to the hub and wheel arch. As a general rule, the lower the ET, the further the wheel will sit out towards the arch. For example, if your van has a factory ET50 wheel, fitting an ET35 wheel will move the wheel approximately 15mm further out than the factory position, assuming the wheel width remains the same. However, wheel width also affects the final position, so both width and ET should be considered when choosing a new fitment. Going too far either way can cause clearance issues, rubbing or excessive arch protrusion.

Tyre Profile
Increasing the tyre profile can give a fuller arch appearance and improve ride comfort, while lower-profile tyres offer a sharper, sportier look. The correct size will depend on your wheel choice, suspension setup and what you are looking to achieve

Suspension & Clearance
If your van is lowered, lifted or running modified suspension, wheel and tyre clearance becomes even more important. Always check for clearance at full steering lock and throughout the suspension's travel.
