    Are you lowered mate, if so get 45 profiles to avoid scrubage

    answer to the second part of that is yes. as for the first why did you not just get some rallye wheels if you want white.

    Did'nt get rallye wheels as they are only 14's and with the brakes i am getting they will not fit plus you can'nt fit 195's and my car struggles for traction as it is.

    Best thing to do is see what tyres size is fitted to the Berlingo to be honest.

    For tyres check out www.mytyres.co.uk great prices and good service, you have to order either 2 or 4 at a time but if your changing all four tyres it doesnt matter.

    Personally Id go white only otherwise they are just gona look like somebody has nicked you hub caps



    Make sure you use Steel wheel bolts with the tapered head as Alloy wheel bolts with the Flat head are no good, trust me I know Im having to replace all four hubs because of not knowing and it aint cheap!

    From main dealer they are the Black bolts, I had had Berlingo centre caps but the garage doing my hubs said with the 19mm Black bolts they wont stay on.

    Cant comment till Ive seen them and looked into the matter as Im sure the Berlingo only has 19mm headed bolts
