VZ Crewman rim change

[schu_ltzyyy]

I’ve had my red ‘05 crewman for about 12 months now... wondering if anyone with the same ute has changed rims and what they put on. Black, alloy, VE or VF ect. Any ideas what will look good? Cheers

Just saw this on the SS owners club FB page, not sure what rims they are though.

if you change your rims and thay are not load rated have a load on and have a smash insureance may not cover you

A Crewman is classed as a utility & uses the same rims as other Commys rated up to approx. 650Kg per corner.
On my Crewie fitted up WM Caprice wheels using 245/45/18"s all round. Many say they won't fit the front without
wheel spacers. They fit mine without modification only centres bored & clear strut towers by approx. 7mm.

You're both right and wrong at the same time

The base model V6 Crewman and the V6 Crewman S were both fitted with light truck tyres from the factory
The base model and the "S" had a load carrying capacity of 1070kgs which required the fitment of the light truck tyres

The SS Crewman was the model that was not fitted with light truck tyres from the factory
As the SS Crewman only had a load carrying capacity of 721kgs so it did not require light truck tyres
