been offered some bmw x5 19" wheels (10j rear, and will get 9j front ) question is will they fit my alhambra without clearance issues? I know i will need pcd adapters, but also will the increase in rim size effect my speedo to much or will it be ok?
'01 alhambra - bigger wheels

no they wont fit the pcd is bigger than your alhambra your model is 112 pcd. bmw wheels are about 120 pcd so they would not fit. the biggest wheels that i know fit on a alhambra are 8x18 with 235/40/18 tyres

in my original post i said i would need adapters, tried them and they sat just flush with the arches so a little stretch would look lush, but i have changed my mind anyway as i really like the 18" mercedes amg monoblocks
I've just fitted 19's to my 04 Alhambra. Came off a VW T4.
Same 5x112 PCD and 57.1 centre bore.
ET was 35 with 245/35/19 tyres. Rear was fine, front JUST rubbed on full lock.
Will post pics soon, along with the HID conversion ;-)

how will you get it through mot with HIDs? As this is something i want to do but do not have auto leveling headlights
Bought HID kit off eBay, about £30 from china H7 bulb fitting if I remember right.
Gone through about 3 MoTs since fitting with no probs. don't think I have auto level headlights either.
Look great and improve night driving too.
Went for the 8000K colour so not too blue.

Fairly easy, as with most things and newer engines,
All depends on how big your hands are! Lol
I have small but chunky hands with stumpy fingers. Ok for small spaces but not tight ones!? Sounds wrong lol!

Hopefully this link works, should be my Toby on his 19" wheels.
Yes I know he needs a clean, just haven't had the weather lately!

looks great, whats the width? with the HID's are they plug and play? or is it a splice in jobbie? seen a nice set on demon tweeks im thinking of ordering,
also do the HID's operate highand low beam? and side lights?

mikey, did you putthe 'R' badges on yours ? yours is the colour i wanted wheni bought mine but settled for silver lol
yep, put them on after the remap from GHEtuning in Plymouth. Seemed to make it go a bit quicker too lol
lol i thought "huh they didnt make an 'R' model" what engine you got 115 or 130?
Wants dropped a bit though
Then it'd look like a proper passion wagon
I agree, but only the rear end! the front i think would struggle with the speed bumps if it went any lower. But the back end has always looked high.
I wanted a black one to start with, but this was £2k cheaper with only 7000 miles extra and I loved it the day I saw it. the same day he got called Toby too.
130, remapped to approx 170, which the badge on the back says too
I also have a huge stainless induction filter and stainless 3" exhaust, as that failed MoT a couple of years back.
i have the 115, going to have a 2.5" exhaust made from cat back, then a remap, yours homebrew induction?
