You mean the Transit SportVan, no they wont fit. 2000 on Transit use 14mm studs and are hub centric, pre-2000 use 12mm studs and are stud centric.

will also need adaptors to run sportvan alloys
was a bloke on flea bay selling `wobbly bolts` that meant you could fit landrover alloys,whether you would trust em is another issue
get some tourneo ones they are for sale every now and then

Be very careful when putting alloys on a transit, alot of wheels are not up to the job due to the weight of the van.

Even with adaptors it's not easy, you'll end up with the wheels sticking out past the arches. As said above you need wheels that are rated for the weight of the van, adaptors wont be rated.
There are plenty of options out there that have the correct fitment and are rated for the weight. In fact I have this set for sale.
