Hi all, sorry to be a nuisance but could anyone tell me if there are any Citroen Alloy wheels that are a direct replacement for the standard steels on a 65 plate berlingo van without using spacers.
many thanks Len.

Plenty of different alloy styles and diameters, all based around the Citroen/Peugeot 4x108 stud pattern, but the two other important measurements are the rim width and the offset (ET).
I looked at a good set of used Citroen C5 alloys, only to find that the C5 changed in about 2007/8 from a four to a five stud layout. In the photos the wheels had a centre cap, hiding the bolt pattern, and I nearly bought them by mistake.
As has been said, if you're swapping from steels to alloys, you will also need a different set of bolts to suit. Sorry if I'm stating the obvious here.

Im actually quite happy to go with a set of steelies in 17x7, with an ET29 off set. There is a brand new set available on Ebay (I cant find them anywhere else). But, they’re ridiculously expensive, up there with alloy wheels. So I’m thinking of trying to remain patient, and see if they pop up somewhere in a wreckers, or gum tree. Then I can trial them on the car and assess the ride. If Im happy with the set up, I can then fork out on alloys.
The wheels on ebay are actually listed for a 3008 Peugot, but my research tells me they have the same CB. So fitment shouldn’t be an issue.
Just gotta find a cheap set somewhere, and we’re good to go. Doh!
