So I've finally managed to source an upgrade wheel set, only 7 years after buying our Cali !!!
Just sourced a second hand set of Dakar bi colour alloys and need a full set of new tyres.
I've got 17" alloys with Dunlop tyres to come off the van and 18" Dakar wheels to go back on. I'll be fitting the new alloys with Dunlops as I've got 20k miles out of two front sets having owned the van from new - so very happy with these tyres.
Two questions;
1. Is the 18" tyre selection straightforward? Or are there a variety of 'profile' choices to consider?
2. Depending on answer to point 1 above, can I retain the existing 17" steel spare wheel that came with the van and will it have the same rolling radius as the new 18" wheel with a lower profile tyre, or have I now got to consider a replacement spare or alternative options
