Freshly delivered yesterday, 18" wolfrace x10x wheels. Would I be right in thinking tyres would be 255/45 R18 Y ??
Also can anyone recommend a brand and a supplier / fitter in Surrey, that won't damage them ?

Nice wheels! where did you buy them from?
yes OEM size for 18's is 255/45/18. although people have also fitted 235/50/18 and 235/55/18, do a search on the forum for more info. Main thing to ensure is that you get the correct load rated tyres for your van.

I got them direct from wolfrace and used the 10% off code I found on here "2023v"
10J front will poke quite a lot, I think.

@T6Paul Yeah I nearly went 19" I saw yours but decided 18 was ok
I got the 255 from the tyre packages offered by wolfrace on their site for that wheel . However when you scan down the list they did have some 235 ones too so maybe that'd be better ?
Oh hold on - if the model is X10X and the width is 8.5J then there nowhere near as wide as I initially thought. I’ll amend the title.
either will work, 235's might be cheaper, both fine for the 8.5J alloy.
Look forward to seeing them on the van!
Can't wait .....it's also booked in for a @BognorMotors treatment
Thinking of these wheels for my black kombi. Undecided weather to go 18” or 19”. Any pics?
I went with 18" after seeing this van online and they looked plenty big enough.
T6paul up above has the 19" version
I like these wheels a lot, great price and also direct fit for transporters, very OEM + look (in silver)
@Chippy1970 did they give you new bolts?

Wolfrace supplied new bolts with mine.
My wheels will be in the for sale section soon…
Yeah bolts and centre cap stickers
I almost pulled the trigger on a set of 18” Wolfrace x10x direct from Wolfrace but their answers to my pre sales technical query put me off.
When you look to buy direct from Wolfrace and look at the advanced details between the different colour options the specifications aren’t always consistent. Different offsets, different centre bores, different load ratings.
I queried why and what I was going to get as I didn’t want spigot rings. I was told that what was shown was dependant upon stock but to just order via a link they sent me and there would be no problem, they would fit.
However the link took me to the same place where, for the colour I was going to purchase at the time, spigot rings were listed as being required.
As I wasn’t sure as to actually what I was going to get, I hesitated and then went off on another tangent completely.
I would say double check what you are going to get when purchasing the x10x if you want a guaranteed direct fit.

That's odd all I did was fill out the van reg number on the order form and the van model came up and they delivered them Sunday. No mention of needing anything else, they even supplied new bolts. I'm pretty sure it said somewhere they're guaranteed to fit.
50mm offset it's says one the box
These were what I was looking at.
Listed for Transporter. Still 8.5j, but different load rating and spigot rings required.
