If you look on the second pic, you can see where the back wheels rub very slightly if the vans fully loaded!
Not much room at the back of the wheel when its not loaded either. Dont think youd get away with any wider wheels unless you fitted spacers!

get a hammer, that soon sorts that out, lol, also when you lower it there will be loads of room in there, i had 3mm spacers before it was lowered and that was fine

55 is the rate of what the springs can carry, the 75 has more heavy duty leaf springs!
I havent got any pics of the sub's, i made a parcel shelf that fitted up against the bulkhead, i have a wire bulkhead still if you want one!
