The wheels on vans are not the same as car wheels. They have to load rated in order to be safe. I could stick any wheel and tyre combination on my jumbo Transit and it would look good. HOWEVER would it be safe.
Most car wheels are only rated to around 2.5 tonne max so thats around 600kg per corner, whereas to safely put them on a jumbo Transit I would need to have rims that are load rated to at least 1000kg to be safe.
Think about the stresses that are placed on ANY wheel whilst cornering and think about about it.
Those on the red Transit were banded steelies and the van itself is on air bags.
