I think Griff has 15x60's and I know they rub pretty bad.....I won't be putting any money on the table. I reckon 18's with low profiles would be the best look, don't know 'bout the ride tho. i noticed the difference in just changing from 14x60's to 15x 50's .....the ride was much stiffer. good luck dano

my van runs 15 x10 with 295 -50 profile and they fit under standard rear guards with just the inside lip of the tub at the chassis rail tucked up but check this mark O has 15 x 15 rims with 381 mm tyres on his LWB he only had to trim about 10mm from the glass flare and they are legal!!! :o

I hadn't thought about the ride stiffness of a low profile tire..  ???

It's just that it's impossible to find bedford pcd wheels where Im at so an adapter will be the only solution to get some nice wheels on my van and modern wheels are just more available than these older styled deepdish rims.
If I have to go with a modern rim I prefer a big one with low profile tire other than a 14" or 15" rim that just won't look good..

I will point out this example again, the wheels seem to fit and it looks good.
I also don't have a flare kit so I can't have deep dish style wheels pop out of the body..



And here's another example of 18" I believe:

Just remember also that the facelift model has larger wheel arches than the original version. The Aussies didn't get the facelift version so unless they have modified their wheel arches they would have to have smaller diameter wheels.

hey outriding, if you go to a beaurepaires and performance wheels, they carry all the old 70s and classic wheels. That is who i got my wheels from. Performance is the supplier, and beaurepaires are the seller.
