Stick pics of your own one up, sounds good.

What size tyres are you running on the Escort Cos wheels and do they rub at all?

Do you have to modify(space) the back hubs to fit those rims.Iv'e tried to fit 15 inch focus rims on my 51 plate van and the rear wheels rub the inner arch?

Thought so ,just wanted to check.What length studs did you use and what size spacer.?
Is it worth doing the front as well,they only slightly rub on full lock?

Seems totally on topic to me

You're asking about vans with Escos alloys on, and now people are putting pics up of vans with Escos alloys on, and talking about them.

Perfectly on topic in fact.

No doubt you'll need to know spacer and stud info if you want to fit Escos wheels on your van too.
