whats your foughys on them wheels on a transit? lowerd aswel? like to heard what you'd think of it?

IF you can get them in the right PCD, Offset and load rated as well then they would look quite could. However the issues above are quite big as very very few wheels are available for the MK6 Transit.

I know because I want some nice ones for mine but can not find a decent one that is load rated like they need to be.

If you're carrying any kind of load you'll get through a lot of tyres!!! Mate had 18s on his VW T4. After 3 blowouts in a month, he put the standard wheels back on.

Would be a bit worried about using adaptors if you're carrying loads too.

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.

you can get a five spoke in 18s for a mk6, bolt straight on and load rated too. hub adaptors put wheel past the arch and look terrible
